  1. Let me bore yawl with another NYT:

    http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/sports/sports-cycling-doping.html

    "Clerc has said the UCI should have stopped Rasmussen from starting
    and accused the world body of trying deliberately to spoil the Tour by
    allowing him to race."

    How does that break down %/% of cyclists, race fans, spectators non-
    race fans?
    I'm disjointed cause I didn't get to watch the Rasmussen/Conturd/
    Leaphimer/Evans/Hincapie race.
    ASO spoiled the race.
    On the daily ride: how many people are involved in the UCI urine
    chase?
    Can UCI tell the difference between fresh and and old urine? Can urine
    be reconstituted? Or blood samples?
    Does UCI whistle when you can't pee? pssss pssss pssss

    that's a class LBS sign:

    URINE - BLOOD SAMPLES RECONSTITUTED

    RUN CLEAN WITH U.S.

    Dumbass -

    UCI vs. ASO reminds me of another sport which had 2 rivalrous
    organizations vying for power: CART vs. IRL (North American open wheel
    racing). The rivalry almost destroyed the sport. While they fought,
    NASCAR rose. Open wheel is now a distinct second fiddle, a far cry
    from the days when the Indianapolis 500 ruled psyche of North American
    fans.

    thanks,

    K. Gringioni.

    dumbass,

    there's a critical difference between the ASO and the UCI. the ASO i a
    business and makes money, the UC does not.

    there's the 3 grand tours, TV, and UCI
    now there's TV!!!!!!Rolex/IMSA/Sheldon Kinser/IRL/CART/FIA/FI/world
    cycle GP/ad nasuem
    'stock cars' at Indy are roadsters at Indy, the type of vehicle the
    track was designed for. Notice the camera's corner position-dead on
    right?
    you can spend a lifetime at road racing circuits and not see that
    kinda racing over one afternoon.
    like the Rasmussen/Conturd/Evans/Leiphyner race ASO cheated us out of.
    Clerc's statement on Rasmussen ruining the TdF is truely bush. The
    peacock would kill him.
    I had not watched nascar/indy before-no TV.
    that's what TV should do to ASO except ASO appears to control the TV
    even Ligget blew a cork at the TV. took the TdF TV 3/4's of the Tour
    to collect their wits
    the roadsters were beatifull machines, leaving at least 8 dead last
    Sunday.
    The UCI makes money. Without the UCI, CHAOS!
