I like watching the Tour De France but after the Lance Armstrong debacle I just can't get excited about it any more. The other night the winning rider went across the line and raised his arms in the air in a victory salute. My face broke into a grin as I prepared to join in the congratulations, and then I stopped in mid-smile. I wasn't watching the strongest, fastest, rider of the day. I was watching the cheat with the most effective drug masking routines and the biggest bribes paid to the officials in the drug testing department. Bicycle racing; probably the most corrupt sport in the world.
