TOUR DE FRANCE ROLLS ON

TOUR DE FRANCE ROLLS ON

Hi – I’m le Tour de France editor at isporty. Thanks for your interest in our le tour page and valued contributions to the controversial debate that continues.

As we approach Paris, catch up with the what the world thinks with the latest news, blogs, forum posts, videos, photos and podcasts on Rasmussen and the rest of the Tour by visiting our special isporty Tour page, where you'll find the internet's widest and most up-to-the-minute source of news & stories - just scroll down and follow the links on the left.

Meanwhile there may be one key issue but we have numerous different threads discussing different aspects. Why not consider adding your opinion to any of the these?:

- Is the doping system working?
- Are the press to blame?
- Is David Millar entitled to criticise?

Of course, we actually have some debate that isn’t about Le Tour that you may want to contribute to:

- Save £££ on cycling gear - the best ways to haggle
- Going for a personal best - what's the best technique?
- Cycling tours - the best and the worst

From next week our Le Tour page will revert to its comprehensive road racing homepage and we will be launching a new mountain biking homepage – so please keep in touch for the best of cycling – use us where we can help – and add your opinion where you can! Cheers.

Comments

Why do I have this uneasy feeling that the Tour managers are not that ignorant and 'shocked'?
How many does it take to 'do' bloods?
Is it not a case of 'do, but if you get caught you're on your own?'
I have lost a lot of interest in TDF - and I think I am probably not alone... watched it religiously for 20 years sad face!

Is David Millar qualified to comment? Not in my opinion. Like any cheat in any sport, he should have received a life ban. There are no half measures - you cheat or you don't. There is no such thing as qualified cheating. They all know the rules, and, anyway, it didn't do him much good. As for Rasmussen - like Rio Ferdinand, by not turning up for tests he was as guilty as if he had been tested positive. It's like a motorist who refuses to take a breath test. Guilty and banned.
