More to Cycling Than Drug Scandals

The Times is at it again, featuring only negative news about bike racing (“Dutch Looking for Link in Death,” June 2, by Elliott Almond.)

Since the bylined story last summer on the rumor that U.S. world cycling great Greg LeMond’s last sponsor asked him to take a banned drug, you have printed wire-service stories on the Tour de Trump, nothing on the Redlands Bicycle Classic and only fine-print results from the Mammoth stage races.

Please get your writers out in the daylight, reporting on some major California bike races and off the phone interviewing these self-styled experts on the latest rumors linking cycling to substance abuse.
