...cyclists, however, staged their sit-down strike the day after police raided a hotel and hauled away some team members for drug tests in the middle of the night. Can you imagine the reaction if cops raided the Super Bowl locker room at half time and hauled off a linebacker for drug tests? That is roughly the equivalent of what the gendarmes did.
