Public data wouldn't prove anything. I dont mean to be rude, but your lack of racing experiance is showing as you dont grasp the difference between training and racing and how it all works. Also any testing of someone who's raced would be pretty invalid, racing would throw bio markers all over the place.
The best way to cheat wouldn't be taking drugs, it would be getting a taxi, cutting corners, supply drops.
It's so hard a few drugs wont make it much easier.
@frank9755 has a good grasp and always explains things well. I'm too tired to put it all into words.

Correct. There's no need to prove anything. So that's OK.

That's very likely indeed. Criticise the hell out of this, it's only helpful.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this. If you're saying that racing itself causes an irregularity in the data - that's OK. Over time, you could predict these things and they wouldn't be "irregular" anymore.
The best was go cheat wouldn't be taking drugs, it would be getting a taxi, cutting corners, supply drops.
Those ways to cheat have the biggest impact, true, but are also easy to detect. So people are unlikely to opt for them (it's risky). Supply drops would be a good way to cheat?

You could say that about TdF, Giro, Vuelta, ...

Quite possibly! Or in other words - I hope so. But we just don't know, because as of now, we cannot know. There are no checks. Public data would somewhat settle the problem between regulation and deregulation that the sport seems to be heading towards. And it would be a compromise.
