While I accept that doping is a problem in cycling, I certainly don't accept that other sports are innocent. I'd particularly like to know what footballers (the richest sport) are using.
There's no doubt it occurs in a lot of sports. Remember the Barry Bonds scandal, for instance. But yes, money talks. We know that at least since Fuentes.

To name but a few: athletics, swimming tennis. I’d say doping (as a percentage of top competitors) is higher than in world tour cycling in all of them.
This nonsense with Jannik Sinner tells you all you need to know about tennis and the WTO’s stance on protecting its assets.

That Guardian Story
It's more than a bit annoying that the Guardian article is written as though it is only cycling that has a problem with doping. You have to get right to the bottom before there's any mention of other sports, but I don't think the Russians at Sochi in 2014 were cyclists.
