The Laboratorium : Then the Terrorists Have Won

New York Times:

This year’s Tour has lost at least two teams, the winners of four stages and the overall leader. But organizers have so far said the event would not be canceled. Doing so, said Patrice Clerc, the president of the company that organizes the Tour, would mean victory for the riders who violate the rules.

Um, no. Victory for the riders who violate the rules would be … winning the Tour de France. It’s not like they doped up with the goal of canceling the event and ruining it for everyone else.
