Setting the Record Straight - Ed on Cycling, Baseball, Ray Lewis and Lance Armstrong

I want to set the record straight ...
I like cycling. 
I also like competition. 
I don't like doping. 
I believe Cycling has the worst history of doping of any professional sport (I realize this could be debated, but this is my opinion). 
I would like the International Cycling governing bodies (I don't even know them by name) to attempt to address the epidemic that is doping in professional cycling.
I like baseball.
I acknowledge that doping occurs in baseball too, but not nearly as much.
I also acknowledge that Bud Selig is bad for baseball.
I don't like baseball haters.
I cycle and yet haven't joined a baseball/softball league in the last 10 years because one serves as exercise, the other not so much.
I don't really watch All-Star games, unless my alternatives are the Food Network or The Bachelor.
I don't really like Ray Lewis or Dennis Rodman.
I still really like Lance Armstrong.
And Tiger Woods.

C'mon boys, it's time for confessions all around.  I suspect you both:

  • would rather watch the Food Network or The Bachelor than the MLB All-Star Game.
  • would dope just to win a free t-shirt at the inaugural Oelwein Sprint Triathlon.
  • would secretly would love to round out a golf foursome of Tiger Woods, Ray Lewis and Dennis Rodman
  • have to admit that you each own at least one piece of LiveStrong apparel or gear.
  • and finally, would rather go shopping for body wash at Bed Bath and Beyond than admit on this blog that you have looked into a mirror recently and uttered those infamous words ... I am Tiger Woods.

I'm out!
