I want to see whether there are big differences in the times posted now that these riders have been removed. Wouldn't be bizarre to discover that blood doping was required to make the race exciting in the first place?
I'm beginning to think it's best to allow athletes to do whatever they want to their bodies to compete. They do it anyway, and in the case of adults, they also know what they are doing. If they choose to destroy themselves for glory and our entertainment...why should we stop them?
I personally do not believe in destroying myself for such reasons...but I recognize that not all people feel this way. If one accepts the consequences for their actions...then stopping them is pointless.
