Mastering the obvious: LA Times publishes a semi-heretical article that gives the barest, sketchiest outline of what has been cycling's open secret for 100 years: drugs are at least as old as the TdF. Duh. Funny how the cycling press almost never takes cognizance of the obvious.
Here's how to have a drug-free Tour de France:
1) Build a time machine and go back to 1904 and take away all the coca leaves in the peloton.
2) go back to the 1920s and take away all the cocaine. How hard could that be?
3) go back to the 1960s and take the syringe full of methamphetamine out of Eddy Merckx's ass.
Failing that, we could all take a lesson from the only good movie ever made a about cycling:
"Everybody cheats, I just didn't know"
"Well, now you know."
