American team plans to never win



From the country that brings you the best in security theater comes to you anti-doping theater. US-based team Slipstream has announced plans to blow their load administer fifty doping controls per year to each team member. Apparently claiming to spend 400,000USD on team-sponsored doping tests is supposed to make us feel good. And by feel good I mean laugh and point as the riders on Team Slipstream get consistently dropped. It seems that a goal of having a "clean" team is to attract sponsors which might, understandably, given the seemingly endless doping scandals in cycling, be skittish about putting money into a team. Team Slipstream is going to need that extra sponsorship money to pay for all those extra doping tests.
