If you are an outsider looking 'in' on this culture you really have absolutely no idea what was going on. I rode with Gert Van Theunisse, he was administered EPO fit for horses when he was 21 by his own Sports Doctor. He had no idea what it was or what it would do to him in the long term. He's lucky to be alive at 50, two heart attacks later.
When asked about doping in the 90's his only response was 'I've been to a lot of funerals lately'.
