Race Radio said:You are right, quitting is so much easier then trying to solve the problem.
auscyclefan94 said:Cycling is coming a global sport. I see that it is booming in Australia and ratings have increased with the tdf every year. It'll go backwards if someone like armstrong tests positive

Digger said:Really?
Meanwhile back in reality, races are being scrapped from the calendar, and TV companies are pulling the plug, due to doping.
Cycling is not just about the TDF.
It'll go backwards if LA tests positive? We turn a blind eye so in fear of what we might see.![]()
Susan Westemeyer said:So your theory is that if Lance Armstrong (or any other rider, for that matter) were to test positive, the appropriate thing to do would be to cover it up, "for the greater good"?

who cares about TDU and Australia. Mickey Mouse stuff from a backward country.auscyclefan94 said:Not exactly, but i'm saying is that it would do some serious damage to the sport if armstrong tested positive and i know a lot of people follow cycling mainly due to lance. Look at the tdu crowds this year. Huge compared to other years.1 million people out on the road in 40oc heat. He's a drawcard.

Gimme a break....first and foremost, doping in cycling...ahem I mean doping in all sports has been going on since somebody first offered one almighty dollar for a result. I am pretty sure Anquetil had something to take. Babe Ruth drank beer. Bonds did roids...15 million a year is a lot of pardon the pun, JUICE!!
I also think cheating is bad for any sport, referees betting on NBA games, Barroid Bonds, Clemens etc etc. The reality is we are a sports hero driven society and regardless of what someone does or does not do, we have reached a point where every winner will be questioned whether or not they are "clean". Big time wrestling? Maybe, but I would rather watch Vino, Basso, Armstrong, et al race than watch myself crash in the final turn of the local crit (or watch you for that matter) If they are all dopers, then someone is still better than someone else.
You people are all obsessed, I say get over it and enjoy the race, if not, pick a clean sport to go and watch if you can find one.....maybe pee wee baseball or Dog frisbee is for you.
Cycling is a beautiful sport and a great lifestyle, enjoy it instead of moaning about it.....
I think I will go a ride my bike....what a f***ing concept!!
