Vuelta to be run by Fidel Castro....

Fidel Castro, director of the Vuelta and ex-president of Cuba, met yesterday with Spanish & Cuban fans according to As. Castro predicted this would be the mosted drugged Vuelta ever and said he believes the amount and quality of cocaine taken and distributed en-route will keep the race exciting until someone OD's in the final time trial near Madrid.
In fact, the early "trip" with Magic Mushy's take them to the mountains. "It is a way to attract the public from the very beginning," said Castro, who is "higher than ever". Castro called the Spaniards scheduled to participate in the Vuelta "higher on drugs than ever."After explaining how the drugs were made, Castro explained that the Fuerteventura-Canarias team should bring their own billy's since its team that it would not be able to smoke using the UCI's Bongs. "All the riders that are taking part in the Vuelta have to bring their own smoking devices, we can't supply crack pipes for everyone," said Castro, and he call professional cyclists "by far, the most whacked out sportmen in the world." He added that of more than a thousand pros all over the world, "less than three percent have overdosed."When a fan questioned the quality of the drugs, Castro said, "There is no need to suffer a year without drugs. In fact, we have been working on a side project to the UCI ProTour for three years, and 2008 could be the year in which the three major races can design their own bongs & crackpipes however they like."Looking toward future editions of the race, Castro explained that Unipublic is working to take the drugs back to Australia, the highest country on earth, where even the kangaroos smoke like chimneys. "We couldn't do it this year as we are clean out of marjuana"
