How the mighty have fallen...
I don't even know what to say about the Tour de France.
Seems the new strategy for winning is to ride clean enough to be the last man standing in Paris.

I'm American. He's Swiss. The Boys are a bit of both. Dispatches from the far side of the Röstigraben. With a little cycling on the side.

Thanks for the links.
A sad state of affairs, that's for sure.
I know, it makes me sick. I've thought of you a bunch since the whole Rasmussen scandal. Wondering how it's covered there versus here. It makes me so sad: either they're all doping and should just go ahead and admit it, or everyone should be thrown off. I don't know, I've totally lost my faith. It's such a beautiful race/sport and it's become so ugly.
Christina - two german TV stations dropped all their coverage of the tour afte the T-Mobile rider tested positive and Switzerland's largest newspaper stopped reporting on the events after Vino's results. A lot of media outlets are seriously evaluating if they are going to cover cycling next season. Without free media coverage there go the sponsors, and it's all downhill from there.
