Well.. let's go to a more recent example: 2006. Everyone was awed at Floyd's huge comeback ride. It was amazing.
It was amazing until the test results came out. So, you could argue that the drugs 'can' make a great spectacle. Making a lower rider or knackered rider come back in fighting style. But as soon as you realise it is drug assisted it becomes a tainted result. So, back under the carpet I say! (Now can I get a job with the UCI?) :)
