Crucifixion

From Yahoo Sports News, in an article "Tour Drowning" or some such BS
by Julien Pretot, employer not credited that I saw:

(quoting)

Evans added: “It is very unfair because our sport is trying to do the
right thing and it is crucified for doing the right thing.” (end
quote)

Couldn't have said it better myself. --D-y

FIFA, NFL, NBA, MLB are doing the right thing too,
but are not getting crucified. Why is that?
Because ASO, UCI, & WADA bought the timber & nails,
and asked everybody to lend a hand.

Yeah, the argument is basically "pas naturellement," but the last time
we saw an athlete with this sort of geriatric renaissance, it was Barry
Bonds.

Wait, is he clean? I've lost track.

Cycling is a major sport. The mindset of the athletes in
cycling is not the same as athletes in some other sports
who do not mind mixing it up with people who threaten them.

Rugby is not a major sport, and they are not hounded.

apparently do).


Where's Magilla when you need him?
