I totally agree with everything you said, and I'm a Corinthian at heart as well.

I'm encouraged that this year's Tour seems to have been fairly clean. The difference was noticeable: Froome's assistants who rode their bollocks off to get him in the yellow were thoroughly knackered the next day and dropped. Many riders faded as the Tour progressed in a way you didn't see in previous years.

FIFA won't do anything unless there's money in it.
