Tour de France 2013

First let's be clear - there is a difference between a bad tackle which is on a scale of good tackle / mistimed tackle / bad tackle / very dangerous tackle, and diving and taking drugs which is just outright cheating.

Saying that, Dicks... very good defender. Amazing left foot / penalty taker. Complete nutter. Reckless. Dangerous. Much more concerned about himself than his team. When he used his physicality to gain a psychological advantage over the opposition - great; when he risked his status on the pitch and the career of an opposition player - not great (unless it was a player who played for a team that are more despicable than cheating is, of course).
