there has to be some banned chemical substances in there. the UCI is so hypocritical, there whole basis for not allowing EPO, blood transfusions, synthetic testosterone, etc, is the riders health (it certainly isn't to make the races more exciting) and the message it sends to young riders and their long term health, yet they are so willing to subject them to this? let them juice to the gills if you are gonna make them race in this smog.maltiv said:The level of air pollution is currently extremely high, apparently there's a chance the entire race will be cancelled.

TheEnoculator said:I'm a proud Chinese and I'm all for China being involved in pro cycling to some degree. But I still say cancel this crap. Beijing is the LAST place in China you'd want to race bikes. The Chinese government has total disregard for the health of their citizens and future generations. They are just as bad as when they were officially communists. Now they call themselves "socialists", this makes what they are doing even more evil.
The riders should protest in racing in this kind of air quality, like what they always do when they are being asked to race on dangerous roads.
