Future of pro Cycling?

And who's to say they will be the last. You have to have some sympathy with current riders whose career is being screwed by revelations from 10+ yrs ago

What a mess!

UCI need to get a grip quick, and start with a resignation or 2 at the top. LA finally fessing up, and a few others kicked out of the sport for good and we might be able to move on from this sorry mess.
Has anyone seen any comments from Liggett, does he still believe Armstrong did no wrong?

I think Ligget is slowly coming round. He features on this documentary flagged up by Melly on another thread

This link to Cyclismas is very intelligent writing and gets the grey matter working on where we could be heading for the future:

Wow - the Cyclismas blog is really something. I'm no little Englander, but they certainly seem to have an axe to grind with Wiggins and Sky.

http://inrng.com/ is a slightly less vitriolic blog with some good stuff on.

Twitter is a great source of info too. Walsh, Kimmage and various bloggers are all on there.
