Hello,
I am new here and I am a cycling fan.
I recently read this article in the Chicago Sun-Times by Rick Morrisey:
http://www.suntimes.com/sports/6360320-419/drug-stained-history-turns-tour-de-france-into-pathetic-joke.html
In it, he essentially insults cycling fans and riders by saying that it is pointless for networks to even show the Tour de France on television because of cycling's history of doping. I think this is pretty crazy considering that other sports encounter PED use as well (including Baseball, the sport Morrisey covers with passion).
I took some time to send him an email to express my thoughts and let him know that cycling fans actually enjoy cycling even if doping has become part of it that to an extent cannot be changed.
