My favorite part of this story is how German ZDF television keeps threatening not to show the World Championships any time they hear the word "doping." Their histrionics are getting old. If they don't want to broadcast cycling, they should walk away from the contracts and let someone else do it.
Now the city of Stuttgart is threatening to sue the UCI. Does anyone believe that Germany would even be considered for cycling events in the future? They'll be lucky if they keep the events they have now, and don't count on the TDF crossing the border any time soon.

These organizers are way out there. Now they've disinvited the head of the German cycling federation because an anonymous source claims he was involved with doping in some unspecified way. I thought Dick Pound was bad, but he's the voice of reason compared to these people.

What a f***ing mess.
They need to do reorganize all these beaurocracies, they are creating more and more problems. What a horrible way to publicize cycling to the rest of the world.
