Tour boss demands doping overhaul

Quote:
Tour director Christian Prudhomme says professional cycling needs a complete overhaul in the wake of the latest drugs scandal to rock the sport.
Kazakh rider Alexandre Vinokourov tested positive for blood doping after winning Saturday's time-trial stage.

And Prudhomme said: "This has to change now. The re-conquering of cycling has to be done with the Tour de France.

"I started this job believing that we could change this system but it's not enough: there has to be a revolution."

This is something that the International Cycling Bodies should have done years ago! its a disgrace the way that these "proffesional" sportsman CHEAT this way! IMO all they are doing is cheating themselves and the fans of the sport!
