What a difference a couple of years make! First Lance Armstrong retires and then the drug scandal rocks the Tour de France.
Now T-Mobile pulled its one-million-euro sponsorship of the German TV coverage of the Tour de France on ARD and ZDF TV channels. It plans to use the money to strengthen the country’s national anti-doping agency. The Team T-Mobile will still compete in the month-long cycling race around France.

I actually feel that T-Mobile is doing the right thing by putting the money to good use in promoting self-respect among athletes.
The race goes for 3 weeks.
Let’s get rid of doping from all sports. Otherwise we may as well watch professional wrestling.
