Today’s Topic – Explanation You’ll Not Like


I was perusing the internets and catching up on some reading. I visited THIS guys site and found the best story regarding European bicycle racing, including the Tour de France, I’ve ever come across.

You can read it HERE. But, be forewarned, IF you understand it, you’ll likely not like it. A lot of dudes get knocked off that pedestal you put them on.


Ride On.

I am sure that ALL pros take "performance enhancers" . If they dont, they arent trying , or wanting to win bad enough.

A classic culture class that one!

Good story. To me it's not that much different than the dirty truth about other professional sports. NFL doctors filled players with all sorts of pain killers and muscle builders. Baseball's issues are well documented. And the fans still come. I won't give up on baseball despite all it's problems because I love baseball. I want it cleaned up and pure as possible but I can't stop watching because I love the game. It's my flaw.

Just to be clear, I support any and all efforts to clean up all sports at all levels.
