Because it's a fucking hill climb, what's the point? The prize is a sausage roll or something
Not so. This came up at the weekend, and my brother and I concluded that hill climbing would be exactly the branch of TTing where it would make most sense to dope, since it's the one where there are regularly significant cash prizes at stake, i.e. hundreds rather than the tens of pounds on offer for typical fixed distance events.
It's still going to be cheaper to sit on the sofa eating Jaffa Cakes and not bothering to turn up at all though. Doping to win domestic HCs seems to me a poor return on investment. Particularly for me, as I'd still lose even if I was juiced. Badly.
