I am impressed with Discovery Channel. They have focus, and they have smarts. Sure...as cycling fans we all look at the Basso signing and say WTF, but we miss the point. The fallout is coming... but who cares if they get banned by the ProTour Team Federation, Tour of Denmark, and Tour of Germany. Discovery wants one thing... Win the Tour de France by all means necessary. All other races are irrelevant, especially to Americans! Its not like they will get banned from the Tour De Georgia/Utah/California etc, etc, etc. Sure... Basso is deffinately a doper, but do Americans care? Not a bit... even after Armstrong, Floyd, and Hamilton. Its not like the doping rules in other US sports like NFL, MLB, NBA are enforced, so who cares as long as Discovery wins. Everybody loves a winner... look at Lance!
