It is the nature of professional sport at the top level, when the difference between winning or losing is tiny but difference between the rewards or each are huge. Its a moral choice many fail.
I seem to remember the 1000 day theory. I heard it specifically related to cycling but I am sure it can be more generally applied, that the 1000 days are the ones where you are racing clean and trying to win and failing, and then after you you start to dope to secure your career.
Its the sporting equivalent of lying on your CV to get a better job.

Okay thanks. I can't help but pity the mental state of the people who end up in these situations. The pressure must be horrendous.
