What do you think would happen if we took the champions of old and put them in today's peloton? Would merckx be caught wearing a testosterone patch? Fignon caught taking sleeping aids? And does it really, really matter? I love cycling and I always will. I know others feel the same. We talk as if doping is going to destroy the sport. I say get down of your moral high horse.

I love cycling and I always will. I know others feel the same. We talk as if doping is going to destroy the sport. I say get down of your moral high horse.

The switch to specialization has helped turn the races somewhat antiseptic with too much seriousness and a glossy veneer. I liked the grit and occasional lapses in the task at hand of those days.
