It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Hmmm :/

I`m very cynical about all of this. The timing of it (one day before the start of the biggest race in the calendar) seems very coincidental.

But the big thing for me is that in cycling you appear to be guilty until proven innocent rather than the other way around. My understanding is that at the moment these are just allegations and there hasn`t been full testing. The whole thing just seems very fishy to me.

Then again, I guess the organisers must be pretty sure as surely the potential must be there for any cyclist chucked out and then subsequently found to have done nothing wrong to sue the hell out of the race.

Not a good day for cycling anyway that`s for sure :(

Is cycling still reagarded (or so I heard..) as the biggest drug abuse sport there is?
