leave the poor junkies alone and enjoy the show. legalise doping and stop wasting time... there has always been and will always be doping and more money can only make it worse. the pharmaceutical industry could offer great sponsorship.
are we talking moral stances or bodily harm? in terms of morality, riding an hour record in mexico is a form of doping, as is riding a cardboard bike, or sleeping and eating properly... in terms of bodily harm, blood doping can't be compared to taking steroids (does that make it more acceptable?). the most immoral cheating is wheel sucking and that's one of the fundamentals of bike racing. the problem isn't the doping, the problem is the inhuman racing/training calendar.
