Team High Road sounds funny.

Can you blame them? Honestly, pro cycling is a farce, only slightly more reputable than roller derby or pro wrestling. Maybe it's kinda like UFC, more legit than boxing and wrestling.......

If I were calling the shots I am not sure I'd want to be paying a bunch of prima donna bike riders millions after it comes out that many of them were lying and cheating for years.

They may be on the right path to redemption, but it was too little too late for Deutsche Telekom.

I hope other sponsors pull out as well. The sport is a joke and needs reform. Hit em where it hurts.

T-Mobile fielded some great and exciting racers over the years. They were always exciting to watch and extremely competitive. T-Mobile pulled their sponsorship for the same reason that Discovery did - doping.

Yes, doping is the reason for T-Mobile pulling out. But, is pro-cycling really worse than any American sport when it comes to doping or is pro-cycling really in the news more often because they frequently test their riders and are actively trying to expose and eliminate doping from the sport? I don't know what the answer is here. But, there is plenty of evidence that the large number of American football, baseball and basketball players use steroids to enhance their performance on the field.

I'm not seeing anywhere near the same level of mandatory testing for football players when compared to pro-cyclists.

I think too much is being made of a sponsor who leaves.
Sponsors come and go in every sport, no news there.

Stapleton still owns the team right?
