[QUOTE="donner, post: 1880133, member: 277"] I don't know if it will kill the sport here, but I agree that the profile of the sport will take a hit for the average person. With lance being retired this long, i don't think the average person was really paying attention at this point unless they already enjoyed the sport. The witchhunt probably wont help it, but like i said earlier, there is a solid following for cycling all over with big pockets in some places. There are two major stage races in the US each year with several smaller profiles ones. Races like the Tulsa Tough i believe have increased in popularity each year and i personally know two master's level pros that flew from california to tulsa just for the race this year. Most people who spend time around cycling know, or learn, the history of doping and really don't care. It's the same kind of thing as finding out a baseball or football player got caught doping. Most people say 'so what' and move on since they don't compete at the same level nor know the person. [/QUOTE]
