Any young lad or their parents watching this morning’s news will know which sport the lad should choose. The sport where one can ‘juice’ on steroids, amphetamines, and whatever, lie to a grand jury, let their ‘friends’ sit in prison to hide their perjury, and then get a day named in their honor by The City. And their efforts will be lauded by the same sportscasters who opine that cycling has no credibility because drug testing catches a few cyclists who cheat, testing that is all but non-existent in the sport the lad should choose.

    In my mind, the whole thing is a non-event. Bonds is a fraud.

    I agree with Chris, when you dope, you are a fraud.

    Chris and Flandria – yep, he is a fraud. Looks like that kid they call A-Rod will be the next one under the microscope.

    A lot of my annoyance is with the media. On the day the TdF ended one local reporter was talking of how cycling has lost all credibility due to the dopers that were caught. Yet in the same broadcast this talking head was praising the SF ‘roid boy who swings a bat. Message: drugs in baseball are OK, in cycling it is scandalous.
