Default hilarious

Delgado was a great rider duing his time. But Delgado's doping record
will taint his comments about drugs. Delgado comes across as a
apologist for dopers.

I think that Delgado does make some good points. Certain substances
should be allowed if they are used for medicinal purposes. Naturally a
use would have to be by prescription and reported to the UCI. The
medical condition would be to be verified by a UCI appointed doctor as
well.

Delgado is right when he says that riders don't race enough. It's
understandable that a rider like Lance cut back his spring schedule.
But there is no reason why he did not race more in the fall.

Isn't it hilarious that some guy did an interview with Pedro Delgado and
that they talked about the problems of doping in cycling...but never
discussed the fact that Deldopa tested positive for probenecid in the
'88 Tour de France?

Thanks,

It does seem that people were more inclined to forgive and forget even
that recently. There wasn't a presumption of innocence, but if my
failing memory serves even the American press seemed to want him to be
reinstated. Don't know if it would have been different in '89 when
Lemond was back.
