Unlike sports fans who hang on the doings of T.O., Stephan Marbury and other businessmen who happen to be engaged in sport, I don’t care much about cycling’s backstory. That’s why the latest on doping and races that don’t pay their bills gives me a headache.
I love cycling in spite of this stuff. But I’m sure I’m not alone among cycling fans who are feeling just a little bit tired of reading another story about the dark side of the sport.
