Further to the previous post, it was also very encouraging that there were no failed drugs tests during this year's Tour. Cycling is a sport that, at best, has been severely tainted by drugs, and at worst completely undermined. You know a sport is in trouble when your first thought on seeing the victor cross the line is 'is he on drugs'?
A clean Tour this year represents the first step on the road to recovery. If the Tour can remain clean for the next few years, then perhaps the world's top cyclists can once again become figures of inspiration rather than suspicion, and cycling can regain its credibility.
About Me
- Owlzat
- I am blogging on behalf of Xoolon, a company which aims to improve the quality of physical education provision in the UK, get more young people involved in sport and hopefully discover some talent along the way! Xoolon facilitates personal performance profiling and matches physical and mental attributes to sports. Young people can create their own sporting profiles, allowing them to track their progress, compare themselves to their friends and find out which sports might be for them. The hope is that this will provide young people with an incentive to improve and the confidence to get involved. There really is a sport for everybody! Registered teachers and coaches can access a database of their pupils sporting stats, allowing for the creation of more personalised and better focused PE provision. Every aspect of Xoolon is fully customisable, so it is possible to incorporate it seamlessly into existing PE strategy. This blog will focus on some of the issues around sport and society which motivate us here at Xoolon. Ultimately, we aim to help foster healthier and more active young people, and perhaps unearth a star or two! To find out more or get involved, visit xoolon.com
