The Giro and the "Quickstep Raids"

Bettini and Basso
Danilo Diluca shows up in convincing fashion and wins the Giro. Vladimir Gusev wins the tour of Belgium. Who cares? I hope we have a bang up Tour De France because pro cycling is doper after doper after doper. Riis has been taken out of the official Tour De France Roster of winners. Can someone please tell me why Alejandro Valverde has not been charged with anything yet. I suspect that Spanish officials are protecting him. Now for the greatest revelation. Apparently Belgium Police have raided the homes of employees and riders of Team Quickstep. They have confiscated atleast some doping products. So lets see..... two back to back world championships and multiple classics and one stage races as well as many stages in the grand tours. Could that have all been fueled by doping. Yeah.... I think probably so. So where do we go from here? Everyone is dirty and everyone is implicated. I don't have the answer.
