The latest doping scandal in cycling

Since most of you don't follow cycling, and I don't much anymore either, you probably don't know that there was a raid in Spain recently. It uncovered extensive doping, involving many big names. My feelings on the matter are expressed very nicely by the Boulder Report

The Tour de France could disappear, and sports fans the world over would shrug and change the channel. What’s more telling, the Tour and the entire sport of professional road cycling could stop tomorrow and millions of cycling enthusiasts would still wake up tomorrow morning and ride their bikes. This is the warning that the UCI faces: either remake the sport, or risk it becoming irrelevant, a sideshow like pro wrestling. And all it would mean to most people, even ardent cyclists, is that they’d have more time to do things like ride their own bikes.

Well put!
