Well, it was interesting wasn't it!  As long as you remember that it is not any more real than wrestling - except wrestling has less drug use - it was a damn good tour.  For purists though, if any still exist, it was horrible, a tragedy, an unbelievable exercise in ridiculous mad chemistry!  Which group are you in? 

I'm in both - the purist in me wanted Moreau to win - not to mention I had money on him.  The scientist in me was amazed at just how fast the lab can make these rats go (as fast as Pantini and Armstrong in their fastest, most drugged up state - allegedly)- and go fast day after day without cracking.  One thing is for sure - Discovery and Brunyeel have the least ethics and the best doctors - unless some of you believe they really could have 2 of the top 3 overall, 3 in the top 7 in the TT,  and that Levi - the same Levi who has never won a TT in his life in Europe - can destroy everyone in the final TT, going faster than even he admitted he has ever gone in his life.  Ya right, I have some prime ocean front property in Durango to sell you.  Really, come on, some of you folks probably still think Iraq had WMD too...I hope no fool comes forward to sponsor Lance and the boys - the sport needs to be rid of that whole team!  And Contador hasn't won yet - not until they test that blood in Spain that has his nickname on it...Allegedly.

Don't get me wrong - I don't care if Discovery dopes, really I don't - it's just the way they play the game I don't like - the screaming hypocrisy of them all to say they can and do win clean - liars!  Dopers I can stand - everyone for the most part is doing it (except Moreau) and "that which does not kill me... " and all. But the constant lying, telling young racers they can do it clean, is just ridiculous.  Look Discovery - *we know you cheat, you know you cheat, and all the other riders know you cheat - so just shutup and put on a good show! And quit trying to tell us how pure you are!  *All allegedly of course ( my lawyers make me say that).

There you have it - my take on the Tour this year.  Good entertainment, completely fake sport.   My real question I am left with is this:  why kick out Vino and Chicken and Kloden et al, when everyone is doing it?  I wanted to see the show - a great show it would have been too.  Can you imagine what would have happened had everyone stayed in the race?  Awesome, sorry we missed it.

And I watched every minute of it - didn't you?
