 I heard that once.
 
 Really.

I wish I could believe it.  Even triathletes are getting busted now :(  They 
also occasionally get caught turning before the official turnaround point on an 
out-and-back bike/run section, so drugs aren't the only way to cheat.

Cheers,
Dave

Bob, have you ever seen an animated French film called The Triplets of

If you haven't, do yourself a huge favour and buy it or rent it and watch it!

The first Tour de France took place in 1903. Geared bicycles weren't allowed 
until 1937 - the organisers thought they were for girly-boys. And they clearly 
do, since a mere three years after their introduction came the debacle of 1940.
