But yeah, it is too bad that the story will get overlooked. Or worse, Petacchi's being cleared will be warped into evidence that the sport is still too lax on dopers.

It seems like a rather odd quote. I think it would be great if the fans staged a protest on summit of the Col de Marie-Blanque. Bar the riders from passing for an hour.

What shall be done? If the drug testing infrastructure can be built upon trusted checks and balances, then perhaps the penalty for a rider failing a drug test is a lifetime ban. Facing that, who'd risk it? Now... Lance comes back in '08 to exorcise cycling. Think the Frogs would kneel down for that? What a sport. What shall be done?

I'm sure he went through a crazy amount of pain but who cares when all his amazing rides were on the back of his special "spinach" and not guts.

In the grand scheme of sport, it may not seem like much, but to cycling fans this has been a really depressing two week stretch.
