As with most sporting fans and participants, Mongo enjoys and appreciates watching athletes perform at the highest levels of their sport. A rare few superstars are able to make the gifted athletes around them look very average. This seems to be the case with Fabian Cancellara...but Mongo ain't buyin'. Remember...this is Pro Cycling! Nobody should be above suspicion.
Why then does everyone give Cancellara a free pass when he pulls out one of his super-human performances? He may never have tested positive for anything "testable", and he does have a fairly long track record of winning in this discipline, but he's also inconsistent with his fitness and his race results throughout the season, and some of his wins seem "too" dominating.
As an example, I use this years World Championships...Cancellara beat third place finisher, Tony Martin, by two minutes and thirty seconds. Two minutes and thirty seconds after Martin's time was Serpa Perez...He was in twenty second place!
In a sport where corruption and cheating are almost institutionalized, it doesn't seem out of line to at least throw the possibility out there...does it?
