The plane Landis
So, are any of these athletes legitimate. Or are the drugs they use just a natural progression of sport, not just in cycling but football, baseball, etc. Further, are we prohibiting "performance enhancing drugs" on a strickly ethical basis, rather than a concern for physical well-being? And if so, why?

Where you is on this one Glabe?
No shit, where is Glabe-the-babe in general?
What, did this guy get busted for roidin' up too?
it's not just 'roids, but many different drugs like ones that increase the amount of red blood cells in your bloodstream that officials are concerned with
and some that help you compress a large amount of air in your lower bowels so that in the final neck-to-neck moments of a race, you can ass-blast your way forward ahead of the competition...
Yeah, aside from ass-blasted photo finishes, the science involved is really complex.
Landis, for example, in his "A Test" tested for abnormally high levels of epitestosterone. Which can be an indication of blood doping. Although he was not performing above his standard whattage levels. Also, he is taking cortozone for his hip, which could have contributed to high levels of epi. So, who the fuck knows if hes cheating or what. Either way, cycling has taken another serious blow to its credibility and subsequent popularity here in the United States of Awesome.
I think people in the cycling world need to settle down a bit. it's always the same with them. 100 years ago, when the tour started, miners were the racers, and they would chug wwine to ease the pain. oh, perhaps those times should be looked back on with shame.
I do think it's fun to have a few people doping. Landis isn't doping.
Maybe he is.
