5.2.07

From Velonews.com

Sadly, Hamilton's last day as a pro serves as a painful reminder of just what the sport has suffered through in recent years. That day's stage was won by Roberto Heras (stripped of the 2005 Vuelta title and suspended for EPO), who knocked Floyd Landis (facing the loss of the 2006 Tour de France title on a testosterone charge) out of the leader's jersey. Finishing second that day was Santiago Perez (suspended for blood doping), who finished ahead of third-placed Francisco Mancebo (named in Operación Puerto and ejected from the 2006 Tour).

This just really put cycling's current state of affairs into perspective for me.

By the way Team Donkey Punch lost in a 1-0 over time game, but we sure did have a hell of a game and an awesome season.

I think he is trying to say that it is corrupt.
