I haven't gotten ahold of it yet. I've looked for some excerpts and/or comments on bike threads, but no real tid bits have surfaced (that I've seen). All I find is a lot of vitriol from or side or the other. Maybe that's why my comments have shifted a bit towards the policy of PED and what we are supposed to do about it. My take is that the argument is now purely political. It may all come down to the same sort of scenario we see in the social decisions being made on a national level where the side that makes the most noise wins.

I can see a time when a group of riders from weak teams will petition the UCI to put in a rule that sprinters have to ride at the front and do a fair percentage of the work or they will be penalized - stripped of the stage win. Maybe the strong teams will counter by wanting a rule that you can't draft off a rider who isn't on your team. Maybe someone who is lactose intolerant will bring charges against the next tour winner if he puts milk on his muesli.
