^^Let's keep this discussion on cycling's issues as that will be the ONLY way pro cycling will be able to deal with its issue. Besides, who ever said life was fair?
Keeping things in perspective is all well and good, but it will only serve as feeble justification of a practice that is loooonnnnnggggg overdue to be eradicated from pro (amatuer, as well) cycling...Let all those other sports deal with their issues. If they don't - so what? That should be of no concern to the UCI. Pro cycling is dying a slow death (sponsorships drying up - and the economy is not the sole factor) with the continued scandals of a drug infested, performance enhanced labor force...
