Mindtron: I don't think everything Kohl said is BS, but I think everything he said must be regarded carefully. I don't think he can be trusted because he backs away from too much of what he says when pressed afterwards.

RMM: You're spot on. It'll never be 100% clean, but we should never give up the fight, despite the fact that this effort has been no more effective than the United States government's "war on drugs."

The WADA and the UCI may stamp out the current scourge, EPO and CERA, but as history instructs us, there will be new generations of doping products that will enhance athletes in ways that we have yet to imagine.

As doping becomes more sophisticated, more refined, more targeted and more effective, it will continue to entice riders with promises of riches and glory.

I am not saying that we should accept doping, but it seems that a losing battle is being fought. On the whole, it is not the dopers who are losing, only individual dopers who are unlucky enough to get caught.

I'll even go so far as to admit the horrific truth that many many won't….sometimes, when I'm on my bike and my legs burn and my lungs burn and agony sets in…damn, I wish I had some drugs…and my livelihood doesn't even rest on my cycling.

Before you sling judgment at me for that comment…you should know, I'm also indifferent about your opinion of me. I don't endorse doping, but I also don't endorse sitting on my couch, judging an athlete, whose mind and body experiences a caliber of agony that mine will never ever know."

Amen, lady…while you're indifferent about my opinion of you, let me still take the time to say that you're AWESOME!

I've been an active cyclist, racer and Pro Tour follower for decades, and I am completely indifferent to doping, too. Would I prefer clean racers? Sure. Is it a deal-breaker when I find out that various champions doped or whatever? Not a bit.

+1 for anyone who says that Boonen's coke problem is none of the UCI's business unless such use was during competition.
