Re: Tour de France is Dead/Dying

It is indeed a shame that a storied race with such a long history is now so tainted. The desire to win, or perhaps the pressure from sponsors, have caused some very bad decisions.

The 7 victories by Lance are viewed as a triumph over cancer by a remarkable athelete. If it was ever proven that he "doped", it would be a severe blow to a lot of people. In addition it would cast a large shadow over the good charitable work he has done.

Money needs to get out of the sport, (never going to happen) and let atheletes be atheletes. A sorry cloud hangs over sports, this incident, baseball's mess...
