Same here... Pretty much broke my heart for watching pro cycling. I just stopped watching. Haven't even bought the premium channels where cycling is featured (on our satellite system). Was a big fan of both riders. Remember Landis from "back in the day" when the goofy looking Amish kid would ride his bike to a mountain race, race in jeans, beat everyone, then ride home. Tyler Hamilton's tears of joy when he won the Olympic Time Trial gold, followed by the news that he was positive and the crazy excuses (unborn twin caused the "other" DNA in his blood? - something like that)...
Cycling needs to be clean, whatever it takes. It needs to be clean to pick up the sponsorship and fan base this great sport needs.
Sure wish I had Versus on our satellite TV. I'd be watching right now...
