Important Yet Heated Tour de France

There is no doubt that Tour de France or Tour of France is the most important racing tournament in the world. It is every cyclist's hope to be a participant in this annual tournament that features only the best cyclist players in the whole world.

Nevertheless, this important event has continued to experience doping incidents in the past years. Worst, leaders are the subjects of these doping cases. Look what happened to seven-time Tour de France leader Lance Armstrong who was subjected to search because of reports that he was guilty of doping. Nevertheless, after many investigations of his case, Armstrong was found clear of charges. This year, another Tour de France leader Floyd Landis was reported to have a testosterone imbalance after Stage 17.

With all these doping cases happening in Tour de France, I was speculating why do they have to be always focused on the champion? Do these officials really desire to keep the tour clear or they just desire people to talk about the event? Is there truth to my perception that they desire to destroy the trustworthiness of these players who are both Americans? I'm just speculating what will happen if a French athlete won the tournament?
