They don't all dope. A rider who was known throughout the peloton for being clean was Charly Mottet.
He managed to win big big races without dope, but was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in the Tour, when 'preparation' allowed the big riders to recover better. If you look at Mottet's results in the Tour he was competitive for the 1st 10 days and then would fall away.
Have you read breaking the chain by Willy Voet? It explains a lot.
And for an insight into to how riders that really don't want to dope, end up deing forced to read Millar's interview in I can't remember which either Guardian, Obs or Indy or maybe cyclingnews.com
