Tiger Woods Admits to Blood Doping

Never...It is however true that America's favorite (and only) pro cycling team is no more. I guess the $45 million Team Discovery was asking seemed too irrational for any sponsor to fork over for the next three years. Why? Well Contador could be in trouble for doping however all information is only rumored, Team Manager Johan is retiring, and American Champion and favorite George Hincapie supposedly has already signed to wear pink next year.

So I beg the question: Could this be the fall of professional cycling? If no one in the World will sponsor a team that has won the Tour de France, the "Superbowl" of our sport, 8 times then how is everyone else to keep their sponsor? Companies are scared that their name will be tainted after being connected with some kind of illegal doping allegation.

The sport of cycling will endure until the end of mankind, however participating and being paid millions to win races in your team colors could soon come to an end.

While watching the tele last night I had an epiphany; golf is about the only sport that is not tainted by doping allegations. Even though boring and sometimes uneventful I applaud the sport. I also applaud you Mr. Woods for shooting a 63 yesterday at the PGA Championship, just 1+ from setting a Tour record.
