Isn't the whole thing a bit diminished by the druggy stuff?

Bit like the Lympics 100m, which I sued to get really excited by and now I shrug and wonder how long till they're busted

I mean, the TDF is an amazing feat of endurance and all that ... but if some people are chemicalled up and some people aren't, assa bit pointless entut?
