^^^Couldn't agree more Jimmy, if a professional sports performance can be medically enhanced it will be, as will the swimming 'amateurs', etc. etc. You only need to question the samples NOT used as evidence in Operation Puerto to realise a little of the breadth of sports affected.
Not so very long ago a friend of mine was asked by his coaches whether he had 'prepared properly' for races whilst racing for a top French AMATEUR team... Two international elite Aussies rode for my previous team and worked for me on their way back from Belgium to home as they weren't prepared to do what was necessary to get a contract.
I still thought the Angliru was terrific to watch......
