The Old Gaurd never changes.....
This is what Pedro Delgado had to say recently on pro cycling:
The Spaniard Pedro Delgado, who won the Tour de France in 1988, told national press agency Efe that the Vuelta a España and the Tour de France are wrong when they are "fighting more against doping than promoting the sporting aspects of the race."
Delgado, who is now a cycling commentator in the public national television TVE, considered that the grand three-week races will have to consider their attitudes, "because there are many sponsors that are leaving cycling."
"Nobody says that it is not necessary to fight against doping, but I do not believe it is the high-priority thing in this sport," he continued. Delgado declared that "doping must be fought without any publicity, because all of that hurts sponsorships."

What's Perico been smoking?
According to him the fight against doping needs to be a quiet struggle. When Vinokourov and his team quit the Tour de France, it should not get much attention. When Rasmussen can't explain where he's been and gets the push from his own team, no one should make a deal of this.
Guys like this, as well as the dinosaur relic Francesco Moser, whether they mean it or not, are making excuses for the dope cheats.0
