How unfortunate that BBC News when talking about Lance Armstrong as a drug cheat then run footage of Alberto Contador!!

90 second news showed footage of mtb'ers riding a trail when reporting about Armstrong.

Radio 5 ran a programme today talking about the 'Dirty truth of cycling'. Bear in mind that Lance has already been tried and found guilty even though the trial hasn't finished. I did not actually listen to the programme.
Is there an established institutionalised anti-cycling fraternity within the powers that be who want desperately to discredit cycling ? This after Wiggo won the tour.
I remember Steve 'The Tw4t' Ryder dismissing cycling a few years ago as a mickey mouse sport. He seemed to reflect what I think the establishment saw cycling as and I think they are now rearing their ugly heads at a very (in)convenient juncture.

Yes it's currently called the Conservative party, when they go the corporations will tell the next lot what they should be anti to.

That's because we are the dirty face of cycling.
