I played it backwards last night on my Tivo just to be an a-hole

 

Kinda like playing a country song backwards - I got my job back, my dogs alive, my truck works and my wife didnt leave me for my bestfriend.

 

I know missing the point, but I got the point the first time I saw it.  Now after the 100th time I've seen it, it's become annoying, especially when I can't get the song out of my head.

I love it simply because its great to see a sport admit it has a doping problem and actively try to do something about it. All of the major league sports in the US have the same problem and just want to sweep it under the rug. Their athletes are being protected by the players unions and doping is still going on.


I say its good for cycling to air its dirty laundry and clean itself up.

You can't get the focus off of doping by just focusing on the positive.  It would be the proverbial elephant in the room.  They've got to tackle it head on.

I agree the commercial is played too much, but I like the concept.

Yes, some riders will be doping (Beltran, cough, cough).  Given the reality that cycling has had a major doping issue, the response needs to be so swift and harsh that the potential reward stops outweighing the risk of getting caught.
