2012 Vuelta a España - Tour of Spain

This is a view you hear from people who'd like you to think that doping's not really a problem any longer. It seems simplistic to me. Testing that occasionally works now means riders are less likely to completely take the piss with huge amounts of EPO resulting in the dramatic riding. There are still lots of ways to cheat, some simple and some clever and more than can be tested for. To state Contador and Valverde are clean because they're having to race hard to win is probably naive.

This. It's hard to watch Valverde, Contador and Rodriguez sprint up those climbs and all finish at the sharp end together and be totally convinced by their performance, particularly two of them have form. Vaughters was saying that there is a strong anti-doping sentiment in the peloton these days so users have to be much more subtle about how enhanced the performance actually is.
