"Blah blah blah blah... There was an old line from Anquetil... Blah blah blah."
Anquetil was right; it's naive to think otherwise... Across the spectrum, from hopeful juniors to top professionals, doping, not just in cycling, but in all sports, is a much greater and still escalating problem today than it ever was. Simply look at the amount of drugs produced and follow the money...
More importantly have a look at you local sport clubs and gyms, kiddie football and so on, if we we want to fight doping (which evidently we don't) it is utterly and completely useless exclusively pursuing the top 0.000000005% of athletes, which is where we're at, at the moment.
