Another biker dude was busted on Tuesday with a gorilla sperm-laden syringe in his ass!
(Well, not quite, but close)
Alexandre Vinokourov, the current 5th place rider at the 2007 Tour De Blah Blah, tested positive for a ”banned blood transfusion” and has the world’s primer biking race reeling once again. His entire french biking team, Astana, was thrown out of the competition and police raided their hotel. This from AP:
Tour director Christian Prudhomme said that although the race would go on, the latest drug case showed cycling’s testing system doesn’t work.
“It’s an absolute failure of the system,” he said. “It is a system which does not defend the biggest race in the world. This is a system which can’t last.”
Even before Tuesday’s bombshell, Tour leader Michael Rasmussen was battling doping suspicions because he skipped drug controls before the Tour start. He still seems likely to claim victory in Paris on Sunday. [SOURCE]
As if this f’ed-up sport could use another media hit. Although, regardless of the media hit, a bunch of Euros riding 4 hours up-and-down hills, through U.S. territory – well, come on, we do basically own France — isn’t exactly lighting up the domestic T.V. ratings, nor breaking folks out in rock-hard goose pimples of excitement.
I say let these guys get jacked on whatever and abolish the testing. The testing is a complete farce and continually made into a mockery, so why even do it? A little “road ‘roid rage” might add much needed flare to the event…
