I saw that in the USAC thing on applying to be NRC, I was wondering 
about that - promoter pays for doping controls. Sad state of affairs 
when dopers help kill off a central valley race.

The race seemed to run just fine last year, but I'm sure the new NRC 
rules and fatter purses are going to have a dramatic effect on growing 
the sport. Yeah right!

Hey wait, if NRC purses were forced to be SMALLER wouldn't that REDUCE 
the incentive to dope?

I like "pro cycling" less and less every week...
