So, in tennis, Richard Gasquet tests positive for coke, and his whole career is in jepoardy. In cycling Tom Boonen has tested positive for cocaine for the third or fourth time and his team, in preparation for the Dauphine Libere ask if he can ride.

So why can he ride because "Out-of-competition use of cocaine is not subject to sanctions from the UCI, although the sport's governing body said earlier this month it could ban the rider for up to six months."

Is it rather sad that I prefer cycling's attitude to not-performance enhancers? Although I wish to high heaven that Boonen would get some help.
