I think it's a good answer. It's mostly likely true that other sports cover drugs or bad behaviours up (to an extent) but in cycling, because it's such a drama, it's lapped up and people get dead excited over it.
'HA, you've been doping omg, can you actually even cycle?'
hmm, performance enhancement drugs of most kinds are undoubtedly bad for you, and only serve to push up expectations of the sport so I don't know why they bother. Oh. Money.
