Le Tour kicks off on Saturday and I must say, my enthusiasm is at an all time low. The current Operation Puerto doping scandal has taken the wind out of my sails. Who do I root for?
David Millar. He is a former World Time Trial champion who was banned from the sport for 2 years for doping. He admitted it (after he got caught) and then was stripped of his title, kicked off his team, and became homeless and penniless. Since then he has had a bit of a Zen like revelation and has returned to racing with Saunier Duval. I’m hoping that he wins the prologue.
