Ashenden states the UCI’s anti-doping fight doesn’t have the same impetus as before.

VeloNation: Anti-doping scientist warns that more needs to be done.

RedKitePrayer: Anti-Doping programs in big American professional sports – the NFL, the NHL, MLB and NBA – are a joke. Even after “reform efforts,” like the 2007 release of the “Mitchell Report” on baseball, the core problem for all of those sports is that they have left control and regulation of anti-doping efforts to the sports themselves.

Bicycling: Lance Armstrong shook off the cloud of doping allegations dogging him Friday as he urged backers of his Livestrong charity to continue the fight against cancer.

Bicycling: Being a smart stopper not only keeps you safe, but it also makes you faster.

CyclingNews: In the aftermath of Rabobank's decision to park their sponsorship ties at the end of the season a flurry of varying reactions ensued. Garmin-Sharp's David Millar was one of the first to react on Twitter, with, "Dear Rabobank, you were part of the problem. How dare you walk away from the young clean guys who are part of the solution. Sickening."

CNN:  "I learned that many of the participants were extremely angered by their discovery that while each had paid $ 35,000 for their ability to ride with Armstrong they were only being provided with tax receipts for their contribution in the amount of $ 25,000. They had learned that only that amount was provided to the foundation and that $ 10,000 from each participant went directly "into Armstrong's jeans"'.

InnerRing: The news that Christophe Bassons has been given a one year ban for missing an anti-doping control is no laughing matter.

VeloNation: World Champ says evidence against Armstrong should have come out sooner.

road.cc: "We've been in a tunnel with 41 of this year's front lights and the results are in."

PodiumCafe: It's tempting to say that today is a major milestone in the war against performance enhancing drugs in cycling. It's also worth placing it in a bit of perspective.

Peloton: The “win at all costs” mentality is something that emerges from reading the testimonies of the riders who detailed their past doping practices in the USADA investigation.

InnerRing: Dutch bank Rabobank has announced it will quit men’s pro cycling at the end of this year. The team will continue for 2013, only with a blank jersey funded by the contractual obligations left behind.

PEZ: Today's news that Rabobank will stop sponsoring both their men's and women's teams following on from the fallout of the USADA report and their own shady past has rocked the sport. Whatever you think of their riders past and present and their management there's no doubting that in the seventeen years that they've been in the sport they've given us many memories.
