Tour de France 2013

I'm getting sick of this puritanical attitude. You could argue doping's a cheap option that gives low-rent teams an option to get vaguely on terms with the corporate sponsored hypoxia and legal tightrope walking of their rivals. If the well-being of the riders is monitored (within the context of a hugely masochistic entertainment industry), then what's the big deal? How many fucking amazing substance-assisted cultural moments would you have the audience of the future deprived of, be it in sport, music, visual art, comedy, literature, whatever? If people are educated, let them choose their poison.

Let's have another war on drugs, eh? Fuck off.

You know this is bollocks and always has been. If you legalise doping in sport you don't make it optional, you make it compulsory. And the rich teams maintain their advantage because they can afford the best doping programmes. And you make racing dull, not exciting. The Indurain/Armstrong era was boring as hell.
