Excellent article.
A good article here too by Paul Kimmage on the "bull****" served up by cycling (that is eagerly swallowed by fans) and the recent controversy surrounding Chris Froome and his adverse drugs test at the 2017 Vuelta a España: https://www.independent.ie/sport/oth...-36414204.html

Not like it was ever suspicious.
Cycling is so fecked. Froome cleared. Anti doping means feck all at this stage if you have the money and determination to fight the rare cases where people are caught. Scary to think what's going on in sports that have no interest in catching offenders.

Truly Froome is one of the greatest humans in history. Able to overcome a barrage of illnesses that would leave lesser men in a hospital bed, while he instead climbs mountains, and now a level of dehydration that would leave mere mortals looking like, and with the energy of, a raisin.
