Olympics to axe cyling.....
The Olympics is considering replacing cycling events with karate and rugby.
When you think about it, it would be a smart move on their part. Who needs the headaches, from a group of athletes that are bound and determined to be criminals. Also the illegitimacy of the cycling athlete casts a shadow over all of the Olympic games. Personallư, I'd rather watch some good karate matches. But if they start flying around in the air, like in the movies, then that's when you start drug testing them also. |

While we are at lets get rid of track and field. I think there have been just as many participants, per capita, found guilty of doping in those sports too. |

Disc throwers, 100 meter sprinters, spearchuckers, powerlifters are amongst the cleanest sports ever! We have outstanding pillars of light as Carl Lewis to look up to! HOW DARE YOU! |

Not to mention all those 5000m and 10000m records that got broken on a monthly basis back in the 90's, coincidentally just when EPO was coming into vogue. And they never tested for haemocrit at all unlike those evil cyclists and cross country skiers, in fact they only started to test for EPO somewhere around 2002. |

Pro cycling should break from the Olympics, not the other way around. Get a real league, get out of the UCI, which has made the sport a very easy target and hasnt really done much for the athletes. |

Track and field is the showcase event as opposed to cycling in which almost no one cares about. |

And Nordic Skiing, and Women's Figure Skating (Tanya Harding's non-drug scandal) and Pairs Figure Skating (Judging scandals)... I'm sure we could name others. Mark J. |

if they get rid of cycling, then they should get rid of weightlifting,
track and field, wrestling,baseball, mens gymnastics...it's not so much the drugs they're concerned about,i think it's the scandal. The tour de france gets so much publicity now, that any scandal connected to it is more about how it looks than the drugs. bwcox wrote: On Jul 27, 6:09 pm, "Crescentius Vespasianus" wrote: The Olympics is considering replacing cycling events with karate and rugby.
