Tour boss demands doping overhaul

[stubacca68]

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!

Yeah, it needs to be cleaned up. I don't even care for cycling at all, wouldn't call myself a fan by any means, but it should still be clean. The only race that matters in this sport seems to be the Tour, and it's filled with cheats...
