I’ve been saying this for years:

The question is, would our most popular team sports be able to withstand the same scrutiny? And the answer is, of course not! If cycling’s standards were applied to Major League Baseball, Aaron Rowand wouldn’t be allowed to play this season because he signed with a team that once employed Barry Bonds. If cycling’s standards were applied to the NFL, there would be so few eligible players, teams would have to go back to the single-platoon.

So don’t tell me that cycling and the Tour de France is dirtier than other sports. At least cycling is trying to clean up its sport.
