The Lyrics
A bit like "Bum hair, lycra in dayglo", this one started off as being a song about one of the enduring images of the Tour de France. But then I read this wiki page about the history of drug taking in the Tour: have to admit I hadn't realized that for all the modern-day scandals about performance-enhancing drugs, it has *always* been this way.
All the substances mentioned below are ones that people have actually been shown to have taken during the Tour de France - there is some repetition, I know, but that kind of mirrors real life :-)
The "Soigneur" mentioned is the chap who looks after a cyclist (translation is "Carer") - typically these are the guys supplying the drugs and trying to help their cyclists beat the drug tests.

Sounds like the "Tour de Colombia". Maybe the cartels can compete by having the cyclists wear their logos on their shirts and helmets. I mean, if a race car can run around the NASCAR track with a Viagra logo.
love it
:-)
Patrick - Columbia's got some catching up to do... but I do like the idea of NASCAR viagra sponsorship.. should lead to some stiff competition
