Tour de France 2010

[redddraggon]

It's been a good year for Spain. The World Cup, Wimbledon, the Tour. I really do hope things don't get messy.

It's OK, they won't find anything in Football or Tennis, because they don't look. Look up "Operation Puerto" - loads of athletes (mainly Spanish) were implicated, but they only went after the cyclists, Nadal, Barcelona, Real Madrid, etc were allowed to carry on juiced up with no investigation.

Cycling gets a bad name because people get caught for doping. Tennis/football/etc are proclaimed as "clean", because few get caught, but then you won't catch people if you don't attempt to catch people. At the European Championships in 2008, they didn't bother testing for a number of substances, citing that it was "too expensive", which is ironic considering football is probably the richest sport.

Y'see, this is what gets my goat. There are so many cheats in sport that 'record' performances mean nothing and that must really annoy the truly clean athletes.

When I watch the Tour, I pretty much assume that they're all on something but it doesn't prevent me enjoying the spectacle, the scenery etc. A bit of escapism I suppose.

Where there's big money, there will be big risk takers but what they 'achieve' in terms of sporting competition is meaningless.
