i'm going to start a site called www.velodruggames.com - in this virtual fantasy league, participants pick from a list of riders who they believe will test positive for some sort of performance-enhancing drug in the next 12 months. riders will accumulate points in the following categories:
1. Homo (for homologous, or the most ridiculous cheat) - testing positive in grand tour - triple the normal points
2. EPO - testing positive in a 7-day stage race - still a big deal, but not as effective as homologous
3. Testo - test positive in a classics race
4. Strychnine - test positive in an out-of-competition test
5. No Mas - riders get double points for waving their right to test the "B" sample
6. Dig-Dug - riders lose points for taking case to CAS
7. Domestique - riders who have a teammate who test positive get 25% of the points awarded
With 100 points, participants choose 9 riders as they play directeur drugeef. representative costs include:
1. kloden - 50 points - former t-mobile and astana riders are mortal locks
2. contador - 25 points - associated w/ operacion puerto, won the tour, plus won the tour while later admitting he was sick.
3. wim vansevenant - 3 points - 2-time lantern rouge winner - put it
this way, if he's doping, then he didn't get quality product.
really, i love cycling, but things have gotten a bit out of control recently...
