Thor Hushovd react to the athletes involved in doping scandals dominates this year's Giro d'Italia.
Hushovd, who follows the race from his hospital bed, is frustrated by what he sees in this year's Giro d 'Italia.
* Stefano Garzelli is back after a positive test for probenecid which hides doping.
* Ivan Basso returns three years after contact with the infamous Dr. Fuente and his widespread blood doping.
*Alexandre Vinokourov's back after scandal in 2007 that revealed massive blood transfusion. He leads the standings.
" That they are in the lead of Giro d 'Italia, I think is very bad. It is very bad advertisement for the race and for sport, "said Hushovd told NRK.
Requires action
Now Hushovd requires action from the international anti-doping agency, Wada.
"Rules and regulations are too poor. Everyone says that two-year suspension is too short time, so instead of talking about it, someone should respond", he said.

Ok, first what should be the penalty for doping, 2,3,5 or a lifetime ban?
Second, do you believe in second chances and that riders can change their ways after a suspension?
