ARD/ZDF want to not extend Tour contract for now - will the media ever face their part of the responsibility for all this mess? I mean, if coverage is only about hype and normal performances are more or less completely ignored, if only the ultimate victory counts - then one should not be surprised if athletes adapt to this ideal image. The athlete takes performance-enhancing drugs, of course. But somewhere the reason for this is laid - and the image of the athlete in the public is certainly an important factor.
