You want them to quit cheating? Quit watching.

What's there to watch? Cycling is a spectator event that is huge in Europe where doping got it's start and the only cycling event that's televised here in the U.S. is the TDF and that only draws interest here when an American team is in contention.

Had it not been for LeMond and Armstrong, it's unlikely that ESPN would even be televising it..............

Armstrong has done more for the U.S. cycling industry and his respective charities than any politician could ever hope to achieve. To have a government sponsored entity launch this all assault effort to destroy him is a travesty.............

I don't really feel sorry for Lance; but I do feel sorry for the millions of people that he inspired. Who are they going to look to now? Obama? I am not sure that using a quasi government agency and a lot of tax dollars to bring him down was appropriate. His career was basically over anyway; the only ones really benefiting are all of those people who wanted revenge after he trampled on them on his way to the top.
