Well yes, I too fail to see the point in 'winning' by cheating. It must be totally hollow.
I get why pros do it - keep a job, etc. but amateurs is just loopy. But they still do and I still want them caught and removed from my sport. Yeah, the humiliation must be pretty bad but I still want the bans and result adjustments, etc. I'm selfish though, if I lose to someone faster that's fine but not if they took a shortcut or something - cheat me and I want them hounded out of the sport for good.
hippy-
You called?

This guy probably enjoys having his 'Lance Armstrong moment' of rebutting his critics. If you're hollow enough to cheat in amateur leagues as a senior to feel like you're more 'pro' than everyone else then you'll be more likely to embrace the idea that the notoriety and attention garnered in publicly denying it as part of that mystical pro status too.
Going by the company he keeps it looks like they'll be delighted to be considered London's Poundland version of Rock Racing

In that case, I would still feel that it was absolutely humiliating for the person to be doping in a race that I could qualify for. What is the fucking point!?
I'm definitely not saying that amateur dopers should not be investigated, punished, or banned.
What I'm saying is, anyone who dopes at a level that I could compete in is a pathetic idiot, and the vilification and humiliation you should get for being that pathetic is surely even worse than being banned, or certainly taking part and losing clean.
