I was going to write a post about how, after all the crap we have had to put up with over the last couple of years, I'm not sure I want to follow pro cycling anymore. At least not road cycling. The Riders doping is one thing, but what has been a problem for me is the the reaction both in the media and in the people in charge.
I talked about this before and stuff like tour winner Alberto Contador being accused of doping less then 24 hours after winning the tour doesn't help any (on a side note, Contador rode for Discovery, making the 8th consecutive winner who was either American or on an American team, Coincidence? I think not)
But then I saw this on The Onion and had to laugh. it was just what I needed.
My desire to follow pro cycling is still shaky, but after reading this and with the Tour of Missouri coming up, it is improving.
