Dope is technology. Sport and technology are inseparable.
Obviously a rider's well-being should be paramount, but dope isn't necessarily any riskier in this regard than carbon wheels that fold up at the sniff of a dog :S
Having a Lemondesque VO2Max doesn't really make for a level playing field, does it, unless the non-über-über-mortals get a little help from EPO. But then he's got his tribars too.
I'm not knocking Lemond, BTW. He's a fucking vélo-icon.

I've enjoyed the odd snatches I've seen on the internet. Er, the cycling's been pretty entertaining too.
