I'm merely saying that a clean rider doesn't not dope not out of the goodness of their heart but because they don't think its worth the risk.
I disagree. I don't cheat because I was brought up to not cheat. My moral compass is aligned to 'play fair'. Given what I do to my body, health issues from doping are much less of a reason to dope than the simple fact I believe it is wrong. I can't be the only one to think this way.
If it's not banned, is it still doping? Remember the WADA code prohibits unknown substances that do stuff like increase oxygen supply to the blood or boost testosterone or whatever. So where would the 1% gain come from? If they find something with a benefit that might cross a line, would they use it? That's where the morality comes into it. It's not just 'is it WADA defined or not?' what if the supplement worked great but killed everyone who used it within a year? Tell me Sky would use it then? "It's just a game, for fun". It's clearly not.
