It appears that we are having a repeat of the Tour de France games of chaos and controversy over the doping charges against Floyd Landis the brilliance and dedicated American cyclist who won the Tour de France in 2006. It seems just yesterday that the Tour de France officials were accusing Lance Armstrong another American cyclist and seven-time winner of the Tour de France of doping charges. The Tour de France officials are saying that Floyd Landis had too much testosterone in his body. Yet the body naturally produces testosterone and when someone is injured as Floyd Landis was and is running their body at optimum or above then their bodies are trained to produce more testosterone than the average person. It figures that the winner of the Tour de France would in fact produce more testosterone than the losers like the French riders. How can anyone take the Tour de France seriously anymore? Last year the Tour de France coverage and television stations, which covered the event made a lot of extra money in the summer months after the Tour de France due to the Lance Armstrong doping controversy and fake charges. How do we know that the Tour de France officials who have lost their ratings and upset the television stations are not doing a repeat of charges simply to keep the ratings up and keep the Tour de France alive? I would guess that that there is more to this than meets the eye and that Floyd Landis did nothing wrong but the French are so embarrassed that they cannot win their own bicycle race for eight years in a row. The real problem is those little mounds in France that they call mountains and the entire course for that matter is simply not challenging enough for American riders who are the best in the world. This is why we must move the Tour de France to the United States of America so we can make the course longer and more challenging. That's a fair thing to do for the American riders, who cares if the French can compete? |
