Basso's Been Suspended!

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Unfortunately as with all pro sports guys take performance enhancing drugs. There is too much on the line not to, especially when that is your bread and butter. If you are on the cusp of being a top athlete wouldn't you do it? The percentage of these guys getting caught has been very low. Why not chance it? Punishment of this crime needs to be a permanent ban. I suggest setting a date and let these guys know that anyone testing positive from this day forward will be forever banned from the sport. Apply that to the amatures as well. None on this 2 year or even 3 months stuff (baseball). Set a date.
