September 23, 2004: I makes allowances for Tyler Hamilton.
September 30, 2006: I shrug off Floyd Landis' doping results.
And I've said "It won't surprise me to find out that anybody in the peleton was doping" so many times it isn't worth searching for a specific entry.
Here's my e-mail to Victor at the end of today's stage, just after I saw the item in L'Equipe that Cristian Moreni is the third rider to test positive for a banned substance. (Now, I think they use some crappy lab practices, and I'm not comfortable with people getting suspended on the basis of unconfirmed tests, but still...)

i have the solution. let 'em dope. whatever they want to take, fine.
riders will be tested before and after races, and their profiles published, but whoever finished first wins. gambling with chemicals or exogenous biologics becomes each rider's personal choice, like it's his choice whether to ride the race route forty times in the rain or stay home and spin on a trainer.
then it become what the market will bear. does a company want to sponsor a team of junkies? will a tv network bother to broadcast a sport that's a travelling pharma show? is a rider willing to risk his life by escalating the drugs he's willing to try for half an edge? will anybody go cheer for a guy who's shown to be doped?
and in a few years, the dopers will have killed themselves anyway.
I have not checked in here for some time as I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are good quality so I guess I?ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend :)

Bucks70 over the internet vs. Bucks150 inside of nearby sports activities shop. I would not pay full price of the people, but in addition for Bucks70, I am thrilled. Sharpened browsing support frames, along with the up-graded lenses are perfect.
