Maybe pro cycling in the US just needs to die.

[quarterpounder]

I keep hearing this excuse about it's ok for Lance to do this or that because it helps keep pro cycling alive in the US. But if it can't survive without Lance breaking the rules all the time maybe you guys should just accept that it isn't meant to be?

you're right, he's almost 40 and how many more years can he saves cycling in USA?

but i think it's ok for him to do it while he still can. reading thru most of your postings, you just seem to have problem with anything related to him

there's more in cycling than him.

Pro Cycling is never going to die, it's just a question of how much (or how little) sponsorship money it gets. It could possibly regress to the days of a "top pro" getting a huge payoff of a new front chainring from the local bike shop after a huge win, but it will never die.

I'll break every club by the 5th hole. McEwenesque.

The sport has always struggled... During the peak Lance years it wasnt great... Thing is, you cant be a kid and race a bike without getting a beer bottle thrown at your head from a 6-wheel pickup! Cant do it!

Pro cycling will be full of dope as long as money is to be made... If there's no money then you'll get cleaner guys with no money to dope well and WADA with more money than the sport has.

Cycling was picked on because its "the little guy" in pro sports.

if WADA went after soccer, a HUGE money sport, or any other top sport they would end up at the bottom of the mediterranean with their ankles tied to cement blocks... Nuff said.

Define "you guys".

Better still define your reason for provoking er posting or whatever it is that you do.
