The Guardian, like most of the media, is very mean with its coverage of cycling excepting when there's an unsavoury drugs story. By contrast football not only fills up most of the sports pages, but gets plugged everywhere it's possible to do so.

Does anything strike anyone here about the prevalence of heart attacks after 1990?

We need to know what's going on here.
