[NMCycling] The smoothie

[Damian C via Bike-racers]

Agreed Bob.

The “lack of resources and money” argument doesn’t hold up as a defense to why they can’t catch guys like Lance and others who gamed the system. Invest the money in getting ahead or closer to the level of cheating sophistication.

Reminds of time I got tested after the Pro Mtb race at Big Bear...and after I finished I had this drug testing guy shadowing me until I took my test. I told him I was 32nd but he still didn’t go away.

If they are not winning or shaping the race, why is it important?  Seems like a waste of resources when there is big time doping going on in races that matter.
