We should now have very interesting sprints...for those who like
sprints...I always thought they were exciting. Plus you'll have
another team (Quickstep battling for position at the end of the flat
stages where the peloton is together.

Sweet.

I want someone - esp Boonen or Freire - to get the better of Cavendish
in the sprints.

Because it means that Boonen is paying nothing professionally for his drug
abuse.

Dumbass,

Boonen's drug use was not a professional offense.
Out of competition use of a recreational drug ... why
should he pay professionally for it? Because it shows
a defect of character (if you believe it does?) That
generally isn't a suspendable offense. Usually, athletes
don't get suspended for character defects unless they
either: occur on the race course/playing field; rise to the
level of getting arrested; or rise to the level of extreme
public embarrassment for the team or sport (like getting
in bar fights with fans). Boonen didn't do any of those
things. He ran afoul of a zero-tolerance morality, and
also showed that he is a Dumbass. Neither of these
should be a grounding offense.
