Two articles in particular make very interesting reading and although it's not about cycling it does touch on our sport at times and definately touches on how we all feel about it and why we come back for more...

    Its interesting that bit about the golfer giving back her golf ball.. but lets get real here...
    there's the unwritten rule.. and it happened in a number of tours.. where if a rider goes down in a fall or punctures you don't attack.. Ulrich and Armstrong incidents spring to mind.
    which I suppose makes the doping even more hypocritical in the sense there's this code within the peleton governing race behaviour while there's aother code governing what you put in your body.
