If you want to bring up the fact that competition is tougher these days then ALL records from 5-10 years back should be scrapped. Did that lady that won the first perfect 10 in olympics do it becasue there were no competition or she was good? Did Jesse Owens dominate because there were now competion or he was good? and the list goes on.

Funny, this morning I rode in with an Eddy Merckx to work...

 

Then the VP of Finance asked me who Eddy is...

 

After I explained - oh, so there is a famous Belgian

Of course the competition is a lot stronger now...The riders are riding against druggies and drug manufacturers
