It's like a soap opera on two wheels, always has been, always will. The unfortunate part is the stars are just pawns playing for a corporate platform. This appears to be so much like the U.S. Military's "Don't ask, don't tell policy."
WADA and the UCI need to get together on the same page and get it dialed in ....fast. A.S.O., the tour's organizer would be scrambling fast if the riders suddenly stopped and said "Nope we ain't riding." All of this appears to be hocus pocus on paper so far, what ever happend to testing postive/negative?
The negative thing for the sport is that now it's not about the cycling but the doping.
What was going to be an early Saturday moring in front of the t.v. will probably now be an early moring ride and a tape to review later. I saw the Grand Loop in 2004, I feel sorry for those that have traveled so far hoping to see certain riders and have this thrown in their face.
