Cycling

A disaster in the professional sport world. The biggest event of the sport has been corroded by cheaters. Now, as Rassmussen is kicked out of the race along with what seems to be another rider a day, I wonder how this sport can recover. Americans saw potential for this sport to grow in the states, but seeing how we react to Barry Bonds and other pros who decide to cheat....cycling has absolutley no chance of growing here. In my opinion the amount of athletes busted is unprecedented. The only way the sport may grow in America is if we are too oblivious to the happenings in other countries, which generally is the case.
A word to the Cycling community...if you want your sport to survive and offer the potential for the best to make a living....legalize the act of doping, its not going away. After reading a bit, what I understand is the only way to detect a doper is to find blood cells of someone else inside of you. If I were a pro and wanted to dope, I think it would be a simple solution to just use my own blood and never get caught. Nothing is going to change; after all the heat brought down on riders before this tour, the same thing is still happening. Either quit doping or be smart enough to use your own blood. Either way, don't degrade the sport which keeps the money in your wallet, it's just pure stupidity.

After seeing Transformers...I wanted to join the Air Force...then I realized I already had. I wondered where all the propaghanda commercials for the AF went...then I saw the movie.
My only question is ...WHEN DO I GET TO FIGHT ROBOTS!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!? "Bring the Rain"...unfortunatley, the AC-130 Gunship was a Spectre, not a Spooky ...but, close enough. (By the way...several of the aircraft used in the filming of that movie are parked right here on our airfield...kinda cool, eh?) (And we don't fly missions during the day...and Megan Fox...WOW!! In Ancient lingo a very fiting last name)
