At first I was thinking, oh so what! but...

police found 18lbs (8kg) of cocaine, 157lbs (71kg) of amphetamine tablets and more than 220lbs (100kg) of cannabis! Fock-a-do!

I had thought before that racing transportation like this would be a good way to move stuff around the planet without as much scrutiny as normal shipping due to the nature of the sport and big company sponsors.

Or they're mixing the new version of Monster Energy Drink.

I think they need to feed that to the bikes to be competitive.

Jesus.

Just think of all the bike parts a creative individual could turn into smoking aparati.

You'd never have to hit the same pipe twice.

When I saw the first report, I thought , eh, they found a Bag'O'Weed and a pipe.
Probably came back through Amsterdam.
Who cares.

But all that contraband, wow.
100kg of weed.... that's got to be nearly the size of a haybale.  :o

Two upstanding citizens figured out what to do with that much weed 35 years ago...

When I saw the headline originally, my first thought was that they'd been busted with EPO, HGH or other performance enhancing drugs, not performance degrading ones.  Maybe that's my years of bicycle racing fandom coming to the fore.
