I just want to get out there and ride my bike, and I enjoy watching other people out there riding their bikes, who happen to be a lot better at it than me. <\/p>\n<p>I lifted this quote by Matthew White (Discovery Channel) about doping in cycling and sport from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pezcyclingnews.com\/?pg=fullstory&#038;id=4892\">Pez Cycling News<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><code><br \/>\nSpeaking to Australian television station SBS in a telephone interview on Tuesday White had this to say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s (doping) not just a cycling problem, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a world sport problem. Anyone who thinks different has got their head up their arse mate.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>\n<\/code><\/p>\n<p>It makes sense. What is doping in cycling often blamed on? The pressures to succeed against a competitive field, pressures that are monetary in the end. The pressures in other sports can&#8217;t be all that different, so why would the results be substantially different? In fact, the rewards for success in some other sports are substantially higher than they are in cycling. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m really tired of all the doping scandals and news that surround the sport of pro bicycle racing.
