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.
Yes, plenty. LeMond, Evans, Wiggins, Froome, Nibali, even Basso. You could make a case for Sastre too.
There have been plenty of doped riders winning them too, but that was the era the sport was in. If you think the sport remains in that era then I think you'll fit right in over at The Clinic.
