Cyclists to protest

THE last major race of the cycling season could start with a protest, with riders contemplating a 10-minute delay at today's Giro di Lombardia after Italy's anti-doping prosecutor suggested all cyclists use drugs. Defending champion Philippe Gilbert said fellow cyclist Roman Kreuziger recently phoned him to discuss the possibility. Gilbert said a protest would be "a way to show that cycling is not synonymous with doping." Prosecutor Ettore Torri said last week that legalizing doping would be a possible solution if it didn't harm the health of cyclists.
