I am watching today's highlights and heard that German ZDF have stopped
coverage of the TdF and support for their team due to doping in pre race
training
It was then followed by a number of other commentators of other TV Networks
saying that they wouldn't do it.
Perhaps if the TV coverage for this highly overhyped event, where drug
enhanced performances seem to be the rule (?), were pulled internationally it
might just be brought back to the reality of cycling!
The race is so artificially contrived and totally dependant on the money that
is generated by these big teams that belies comprehension that people take it
seriously.
But it generates a huge amount of money in France and they will never stop
coverage!
Whatever your feeling about "sport", this matter of drug enhanced
performances is rife throughout "sports" and due to the amounts of money
involved!. You can see it in every sport that you see!
It is why I cannot work up much enthusiasm for watching much international
"sport"
Sorry to continue to be such an old f*rt!
