Doping has taken the enjoyment out of almost every sport for me. I am an avid cyclist, and watching the Tour de France makes me want to puke. The question really isn't who is going to win, but who is going to get caught doping. Football is utterly pathetic. These athletes should have to sign agreements wherein they give 3 samples. An A sample to be tested now, a B sample to be tested in 10 years when technology catches up to the current doping, and a C sample as a control. If they are caught once, they get a 2 year suspension (i.e., what cycling is doing now), and if they are caught a second time they are kicked out of the sport and not eligible for hall of fame status ever! I think the 10 year time frame will put a lot more doubt into dopers' minds when they are told "it is currently undetectable" like EPO was back in the late 90's on the "Clear" used to be. It really is a shame, but it lets me focus on my family and work instead of sports. I still race bikes, but only for fun and to hang out with a bunch of other cyclists.
