7/25/07 - Trust and Loyalty
I just have to vent a bit. I very much enjoy July because I can wake up every morning to daily coverage of the Tour de France. If you have never watched the Tour, it may be even more fun to watch without Lance. Don't tell him that.
 
This year, the race has a dark cloud over it regarding last year's winner and his alleged use of drugs. So much so that officials have worked extra hard to offer a "clean" race. Yesterday, the cloud got darker as a stage winner tested positive for doping. He and his team were asked to leave. I love the Tour but I just can't tell what I'm watching - a race among athletes or the best covert medicine available.
 
Broaden your view of sports and we have allegations of NBA officials involved in betting. We also have a home run king set to best one of sports biggest records amidst allegations of steroid use. On and on and on. And we continue to pay top money to attend these sporting events. Although I can't trust what I'm watching, I trust the powers that be will eventually get control of the situation. Is that naive loyalty?
