CW seems pleased with all the doping scandals

I'm curious about CW's coverage of the Tour, especially today's issue. I get the feeling that they're actually enjoying being digusted at the behaviour of Vino, Rasmussen et al. Reminds me of Chris Morris as Jeremey Paxman, grinning as he announces: "It's war!"

CW's a piece of crap anyway, I know - you don't need to remind me - but it's all we have. Journalists are journalists.

You just have to ride like you never have to breathe again.

    Can you read French? You'll find much much worse in the French media. Ever since they've lost Virenque (was he a doper? oulala! we can't remember that!) they take a supreme pleasure in mulling over the doping stories and turning them every way possible. The Rasmussen incident turned to pure psychosis in the French papers.

    It's so over-the-top it becomes downright funny.

    nowt wrong with the comic. it tells me whetehr the latest £5k cervelo is better than the latest offering from Litespeed and that if replace my meat pies and ale with mineral water and vegetables, I'd go a bit faster. What more info should there be?
