    Agree totally, plus perhaps peanut butter and banana sandwich just to be sure.

    The bible says that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. There is not wrong with money.

    Correct. And sports like athletics will die from doping because beyond performance there is nothing. Cycling still has the drama.

    Ironically if we believe that most Cyclists in the pro peloton are now clean, the drama is now greater than in the 'Armstrong era'

    If it's drama we want.. What could be more dramatic than the fall of a legend? Lance was the hero turned Hollywood victim.

    My cousin seems to have taken a disliking to the 'Skymination' for generally neutralizing the race! (I'm not watching btw. Similarlly I didn't know who won Wimbledon until Thursday!)

    Is he watching re-runs of last year? They certainly aren't this year. That's what's played a part in making it so gripping. Kennaugh and Porte have done sterling work on a couple of the days, but the Sky Train is more of a pump trolley overall.

    He's probably a bit stroppy having fractured four vertebrae in a cycling-race a week or so ago, and being stuck in a medical corset for the next few months! As I said, I don't have a clue, haven't been watching.

    Edit: or maybe he was still p***ed off from last year, also it was a few days ago he said that. It was much the same in the Lance Armstrong years wasn't it?

    Very few men, if any, can or have run under 10 seconds without steroids or other PED. I think Jim Hines ran 9.95 in the late 60s during the infancy of steroids and that lasted a long time until it was beaten by Calvin Smith at Altitude. I think 10 seconds is very close to the maximum that a human can run and then only under ideal conditions.
