Doping, Duping and Doofy

Not sure about anybody else, but I'm sick of the whole doping thing. It's like a friggin party to catch people who's blood levels are off. The focus of WADA seems to be on witch-hunting possible dopers rather than to focus on putting foolproof methods and practices in place. I personally am looking forward to Hondo and Hamilton returning to the peloton. I'm so sick of the guilty, then prove your innocence mentality. Let's try the prove I'm guilty approach, by making a case first, investigate the matter, then announce the riders name(s) and alert the proper authorities. I can't wait until Floyd comes back.

Let's face it... people will always cheat. They'll figure out a way... it is the nature of man (and woman-turned-man) to try and work around the system to obtain glory. The Italian people have been doing it for years through tax-evasion, flexible pricing for tourists, and passing off the radio as "T.V." The celebrated Eddy Merckx was a doper... he also rode his bike alot... and he was good. All of the great riders have doped. It is for their conscience not ours. Our role is to watch one hell of a bike race and we can't fricken do that if they pull riders on suspicion and not facts. WADA... work on your practices, methods and procedures first... then you can have your fun.

In other news... I have it on good authority that Kirk Cameron will be playing the part of Alessandro Petacchi in an upcoming Italian film to be called... "The Lion King Sucks" Disney describes it as the "feel good" film of the year.
