On the upside, the Tour starts soon....

Which part is ridiculous? The news reports or just the fact that doping
is in the news so much? This is part of what bothered me when I posted
a while back after the Spanish doping ring bust. The fact that (I know
I'm a sucker, and idiot, a sap, whatever) it's impossible to watch the
sport currently without this being the talk. During the prologue of the
Dauphine half of the banter seemed to be about who's been reinstated,
who's out, who might get DQ'ed before the Tour, etc. It was hard to
watch. I know that makes me a moron, *insert other things I was
called*, whatever. It's just hard to watch/follow when that's all the
news.
