I've been watching more of the Tour de France on TV this year.  I've always liked watching the race and thought it would be interesting to compare what I've seen so far this year in the mountain stages to a previous tour like 2000.  Wow!  Shocked  I think 90+% of the group must have been doping back then.  Just by visual comparison, the way they climbed the mountains and looked after finishing vs. more recent years is all the proof one really needs.

You see very similar trends to the drop off in offense in baseball - this is the lowest home runs and average runs per game since the early 90's.  Hopefully that is a positive and the best (who don't cheat) are really winning in all sports!

No doubt about it.  Both baseball and cycling.

I wonder when the other sports will get exposed? You know it is prevalent in football, but I would bet that golfers and tennis players have their share of performance enhancers as well.

As long as my professional wrestlers are clean, I don't care who does it.
