    Yeah, didn’t the French cyclist team go on strike the other year during the Tour de France over drug testing? I seem to remember quite a lot of people at the time being amused and amazed that they would strike over it; unless, of course, they were guilty of taking performance enhancing drugs.

    perhaps they were striking over the poor quality of that years stash, or being lumbered with blunt needles 😉

    I’ve never quite understood what the fuss is about in snooker though. I mean, if Kirk Stevens or Silvino Francisco were coked-up during matches I would have thought it would have made them worse players. Then again, is snooker really a sport, or just a pleasant way of passing an hour or two at the club?

    I’m sure snooker was always sponsored by tobacco firms until the days of political correctness. ISTR gentlemen were once taught that the difference between a sport and a game was that you could smoke whilst playing a game, but only after playing sport 😉
