Isn't it high time the riders took things in their own hands, and try to control the media attention? Not the usual sit-down in the middle of the stage, which accomplishes nothing, but travel, en-masse, to Spain, and camp out in front of the relevant agency that's been dragging their heels and say enough is enough! No more racing until something is concluded. Take the fight right to the source of the frustration.
It's ridiculous to have everyone else controlling their (the riders) fates through the media. Have the riders stand up to the cameras and say, "Bring it on." No more delays. No more racing until there's an absolute timetable for determining who's blood is involved, and why. No more politically-motivated "revelations" that just happen to occur days before major events.

Yep - but as with the Unibet affair there seems to be no solidarity amongst the riders. They no longer seem to bother if the competition is taken out, whether fairly or unfairly.

Remember that riders are terribly insulated from the world around them since they've been doing little more than riding, sleeping and eating since youth. The older and wiser men of the peloton have to start the process until everyone else realizes why and how.
