Doping

Germany is currently ablaze with former cyclists coming clean and admitting to doping and active cyclists professing to not really know what is happening. The broadcasters are threatening a pull-out, should this year's Tour de France be marred by doping.

A former member of Team Telekom in a TV show mentioned that he was told that his contract would not be renewed, if his results did not improve and that doping was administered by physicians of a usually highly reputed university hospital.

I hope we will see a return back to clean sports, which is not a show of the pharmaceutical and medical industries abilities. And maybe we as spectators just need to get used to the fact that it is (nearly?) impossible to bike up a mountain at 30 km/hour.
