where you have a manager of incredibly successful teams who was popped for drugs during his playing career
Cycling is way ahead of football but come on, JV, Vino, Lefevere?

Oh I know but that is the point, we see the underbelly of cycling. For example every article about Team Sky, Brailsford or Bradley Wiggins always comes with the added caveat of mention of the jiffy bag, or the TUEs or the testosterone. How many articles go 'The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, who tested postive for drugs twice during his playing career...'
Within certain sports there seems to be no desire to confront doping either by the authorities or by the media, while other sports get held up as pariahs in comparison. It is probably down to the wealth of the sports in general.
Anyway I digress, back to the cycling. The cobbles are over, the only race that matters now is Tro Bro Leon.

It does, and if you think too hard you would stop watching the sport.
I am going to qualify that by saying at least cycling's dirty secret isn't very secret anymore, and the sport makes an effort to catch them compared to say football, where you have a manager of incredibly successful teams who was popped for drugs during his playing career.
