Isle of Man cycling superstar Mark Cavendish is passionately defending the reputation of cycling, calling it the cleanest sport of all.

That's despite the current scandal involving Lance Armstrong who was the subject of a United States Anti-Doping Agency report which called the American a serial cheat.

It also said he led the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen.

Armstrong has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and the Manx Missile is urging him to confess.

Cavendish says cycling is the only sport actively and honestly looking to stop drug cheats:-
