obligatory

so... USADA put up some big document or something.

I think about the end there:
So burn down Babylon. Burn pro cycling down. There will still be racing, there will still be races. Burn it down, so we can build it up again new. I condemn Landis' original decision to participate in a corrupt, immoral system. But I'll stand in front of the flames with him and watch it burn.

I think about it any time this Lance stuff comes up.  This summary of the report is sounding kind of like someone just poured a couple gallons of kerosene on a smoldering bonfire.

So, pass me a marshmallow, might as well make s'mores while watching it burn.

and in case you want to see the kind of good cycling can do? check Ernest's story on NPR:
