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

Depends on what you see is the benefit. If you have money to spare and don't mind being a cheating prick then it's game on. You don't need to be top level athlete to get benefits from doping. Any added power, any added bit of recovery that allows you to train more is cheating others. There's already cases of low level riders cheating so it's not like there's no precedent.

I suppose i mean that for the majority you can achieve the same level of performance sans sauce, sans cash and sans health risks. But ditto it being an easy solve for being a bit lazy or desperate-one of the members of the Danish anti-doping committee was caught doping for a senior's race recently.... pretty fucking stupid.
