Who are they?

I want to know who the public are that want answers. I keep reading cycling mags and it seems that every journilist is claiming the public want answers from Armstrong, Landis, Ricco, Basso, Kohl and a slew of others who have doped or who have been accused of dopping. WHO cares? Will it make you stop riding? Will it change the way you feel about lusting after a new bike? NO! Look, if these athletes want to possibly ruin their bodies let them. Work on changing the mentality of the aspiring pro's, focus your time on praising the rider who is clean (you know who is and who isn't). Stop interviewing the dopers and start interviewing the normal joe's and get thier opinion on how they feel. Cheating will never stop. We will NEVER have clean cycling, it doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and join them. Realign your focus and look to things you can influence. Cheating is part of all sports and always will be. Take a look at the Super Bowl lastnight. Some over paid, over weight player had to get oxygen after running the ball back for a touch down. While I guess it's not doping it still helped get o2 back to his fat so he could get back out there. Can you imagine if during the tour if Vande Velde pulled upto the team car and was passed a mask tehered to the bottle. Oh how the speculation would flow. I think they should let them dope, still test them and disclose what they were taking. If the riders don't care what they put into thier bodies why should we? It's just a sport, entertainment, disposable amusement. Cycling hasn't even seen the best rider that ever was, their still at home on the couch waiting to be inspired. I agree that riders who want to complete clean might feel it's impossible but that is just because most of the media coverage is all about the riders who dope. Just stop giving those retards media coverage. Simple right?

They are the silent minority in control of the media!
