Will doping be the death of the Tour de France?

Renaud Dély reacts vigorously, saying "The doped will try anything! That's how you can pick them out. The presumed liar Rassmussen yesterday flew over the Pyrenees just as he had glided over the Alps. The puppet is in yellow and the circus goes on. Grotesque. The Tour should stop. This cycling procession has turned into a ludicrous pageant. If the organisers really want to save cycling, as they claim they do, they should end the competition now. They should then decree a pause for several years, for as long as it takes to cure the former sportsmen who have become junkies. That a racer as mediocre as the Italian Moreni, lagging 2 hours behind the summit, has also been caught red handed, illustrates the scope of the problem. The last straw was scheduled for Sunday, on the Champs Elysées, where a new impostor from Copenhagen intended to see his name added to the prize list of liars."
