    My point is you can't stop it, and because of
    that the system is random and unfair.

    This is similar to a bout of flu wiping out a random selection the GC
    contenders before every TdF. This will quickly dilute the prestige of
    winning.

    At first, I felt the same way. But getting caught is not like getting
    flu.
    It's not random luck that Floyd Landis is still riding. He has better
    logistics!

    So there is still great prestige in getting yellow. It not only means
    you are an exceptional athlete and have great team support, it also
    means you survived in an extremely hostile environment of deadly
    obstacles.

    The worst thing about this is that the great herd of sponge brained
    cattle are linking job-related drug use to character.

    PS: LANCE is the ultimate alpha male piranha, I say!

    Every wayward death isn't necessarily evolution. Sometimes its just
    the end result of stupidity. I'm torn between the Dodo being the
    inevitable result of evolution or just a bunch of stupid birds.

    I hope you're not saying that blondes are the result of intelligent design.

    Neither. Just human greed and ignorance.

    I could only render an opinion if I had a good idea what the original
    intent was, before it all went so wrong.
