I'd be the first to agree with that if the things that pro athletes do
to win didn't endanger their health and lives.


What's it to you if they endanger their health and lives?


If they let the riders do whatever they want, you would soon have
people dropping dead during the race.


oh dear.

I'd like to see Phil and Paul
put a positive spin on that.


No problem. They'd just change the words from "select group" to
"natural selection group."

I think the sport would be come so grotesque at a point that the TV
audience would be replaced by Jerry Springer fans.


No problem.

And those not in the natural selection group have taken a /permanent/
natural break.

In that case there should be a 30km/h speed limit on amateur cycling,
and only ITT's should be allowed.
