The correct decision is the one that will result in the most headlines.

If anything the loser of yesterdays antics is Mollema who was doing fine and is now still behind Quintana who was having an off day.

peanut- posted:Diego Rosa was hammering the pace for Astana yesterday and when he finally dropped off the commentators mentioned "he's joining Sky next year" and it kind of drove home the point that they've broken this race with money, regardless of anything else. ..and this is exactly what happened during the Armstrong years as well, if you were a promising prospect that might challenge Lance in the coming years, you got scooped up and set to work for him. People are now realising that this is as much of a problem as doping, which is good.

in other dope news, Leontien van Moorsel is now under suspicion for the use of EPO during her career. Not surprising and only a matter of time. She came up during the late 1980s and there were some suspicious deaths among her peers during that era that are now linked to improper use of EPO. let's finish with a topical song in spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiCH64c6KSw

BabyFur Denny posted:Who is the last Tour de France winner that was never involved in any serious doping allegations? Can’t come up with anybody, must’ve been before my time (which started with Indurain) Indurain is not squeaky-clean, but he doesn't draw attention to himself and that's a huge contributing factor to his image. The great Merckx got caught in 1969 using an amphetamine in the Giro. Charly Gaul won before there was any testing for performance enhancing drugs, but he was a notorious tweaker and his domestiques feared he would die. He spent the better part of his live in a hut in the woods after his retirement because he went a bit loopy.

I'm not gonna celebrate someone ruining his health even more for our entertainment, he just confirms that professional-sports are an exploitative place filled with crazy folk. His directeur sportif should've removed him from the race, but gotta have those human-interest eyeballs for the sponsor.

African AIDS cum posted:Those Dutch speed skaters winning every medal at the olympics was really shady. While the revelation about doping is a dull surprise to me (there was a lot of overlap between the pro-hopeful speed-skaters and cyclists in my hometown, most of them got busted for dope), part of the Dutch winning everything in speed-skating has always been "no one else takes this poo poo seriously, so we win it all by virtue of being the only serious competitor".
