Re: Tour de France 2005: Port de Pailheres
I totally disagree about drug testing. The rider with the most interesting things to say about testing is David Millar (who himself got found guilty) and I agree with him that drugs will always be a problem, but that there are things you can do to make it harder to use them to succeed.

Why must you blame world class athletes
Anyone who has ever watched a whole stage of the Tour de France (other than the prologue) would agree that it has to be one of the hardest, if not the hardest sporting competition in the world.
