This is similar to a bout of flu wiping out a random selection the GC
contenders before every TdF. This will quickly dilute the prestige of
winning.

At first, I felt the same way. But getting caught is not like getting
flu.
It's not random luck that Floyd Landis is still riding. He has better
logistics!

So there is still great prestige in getting yellow. It not only means
you are an exceptional athlete and have great team support, it also
means you survived in an extremely hostile environment of deadly
obstacles.

The worst thing about this is that the great herd of sponge brained
cattle are linking job-related drug use to character.

PS: LANCE is the ultimate alpha male piranha, I say!

I hope you're not saying that blondes are the result of intelligent design.

Every wayward death isn't necessarily evolution. Sometimes its just
the end result of stupidity. I'm torn between the Dodo being the
inevitable result of evolution or just a bunch of stupid birds.

Neither. Just human greed and ignorance.

I could only render an opinion if I had a good idea what the original
intent was, before it all went so wrong.
