"Though there are no Tour de France winners on the list, the US Anti-Doping Agency has sanctioned five cyclists for doping in the past two months - an unusually high number for a single sport, and one that is expected to keep growing over the next several weeks."
Tygart said. "We're going to aggressively pursue the truth to do the best we can to dismantle that culture where it exists."
Steve Johnson, the CEO of USA Cycling... "We are light years ahead of every other sport in the fight against doping," Really?
"...Lately, all of the cyclists I've interrogated have said that everyone dopes," Torri said in an interview with The Associated Press.
It'd be a shame (but an overdue cleansing) if, after they build it, no one is eligible. It seems the trajectory and rigor being exerted by the international dope testing organizations will lead to comprehensive and viable testing by 2012. I would imagine the IOC will apply the state of the art methods. Will anyone risk competing - in an environment of unknown testing protocols - it'll be a train wreck and the best victory for clean cycling yet.
