“it is the entire damn sport and you know it!”

So everyone competing in the tour is doping even though they are tested every day and Vino is the only one testing positive so far? Interesting version of reality you live in. So quit watching cycling. I doubt anyone will notice.

Commish is simply pointing out that virtually every TDF winner or podium finisher in the last ten years has either been proven of or suspected of cheating - Riis, Landis, Armstrong, Basso, Ullrich, Valverde, Rasmussen, Vino, Hamilton, Zabel, Millar, Mancebo and on and on. No, not everyone cheats, but the percentage of riders with a cloud over their head is very high.

"even though they are tested every day"

The fact that people continue to be caught cheating despite the widespread testing tells me that the riders have found effective ways to mask the cheating, most of the time, so effectively that they think they can get away with it. The only alternative explanation is that the riders are absolute morons.
