Lest bicyclists get too sanctimonious about drugs

Interestingly, in a Velonews article on Floyd Landis's problems (testing positive for testosterone doping at the Tour de France) there's a Google ad -- for testosterone usable for doping!  Velonews probably just agrees to let Google post ads in this area and has no control over their content. Google just matches up key words. The result is, unfortunately, embarrassing.

The ad's in the lower left corner of the picture. The screen print transferred poorly to this journal page, due to AOL's limits on the size of images.

I wrote Velonews about this, but they didn't reply and it wasn't one of the letters to the editor they posted on the website.
