Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

Plenty of sports are a much bigger joke than cycling, when it comes to doping. Football (all codes), tennis, golf, baseball etc. etc. must be delighted that all the doping stories are about cyclists getting caught, not about the rampant doping in their sports which they make no serious effort to control.

The article below and the following comments were quite thought-provoking. Cycling comes out top (or is it bottom?) for doping, but must also be one of the most stringently monitored and tested against say, football and rugby.

These days it's a curious mix of old-school culture, big-business, and the new-wave clean-teams, with the industry trying to project a clean image every year, yet if feels like riders are still being dropped from Pro Tour teams almost weekly. As you say MDCC, every negative mark against cycling makes other sports look more respectable and attractive for investors and spectators.
