"Cycle of Abuse"

I found an interesting and informative article/interview with Lemond and Paul Kimmage (author of the first "from-the-peloton" tell-all about the drug problem) from the Sunday Times. As much as I want to believe and support our American victors- Lance and Floyd- these types of articles sure to cast a long shadow. Lemond seems sincere and his experiences plausible. Does anyone really have any interest in the sport these days? Petacchi out. Vino under Ferrari's spell, like so many others. Practically the whole leaderboard from the Giro under investigation for hormone issues. A new "treatment" anyone? And who is tired of riders whining about "degrading" treatment? If so many of Kloden's compadres hadn't been proven to be on the soup, then there wouldn't be anything to sign, now would there. And hey, last time I checked Mr. Kloden was part of that Telekom/T-Mobile mess that has now been aired throughout the world press.

There are too many posts and articles to cite. You and I know that Cyclingnews.com has the best coverage. Or perhaps others more in the know spell an imminent doom for CN for such excellent knowledge of the filthiest sport in the world. Oh, I forgot WWE.
