Mike sales,
Thanks for that link to the Italian inquiry, the scale of which I was unaware of (I live in a draw in the garage)
So
MUCH more to come, more heads to roll and perhaps the good Doctor is at risk of a hefty kick in the nads....
With Rabobanks withdrawal as a sponsor how long before the big TV channels also threaten to stop coverage of the sport, I for one am troubled to think that I cant watch a rider sweeping up some Col or other without thinking, "is he chemically assisted or not"
If I think that then what's the point of watching? Surely viewing figures will show signs of dropping off. Perhaps the huge amounts of money invested in the sport by TV or Sponsors is the biggest threat to hang over riders....After all, with this stupid 'rule of silence' amongst themselves it is
THEY (riders) who are going to ultimately kill their own sport.
So it is the riders who must bring the change themselves........Have they the will? Is a 'tainted' title worth the ruining of your own good name? LA thought so, bet he would change his mind now though.
