  • I'm not sure that an amnesty would persuade current riders from doping, if they were so minded, even in conjunction with a lifetime ban.

    Principal purpose of an amnesty would be to stop the drip feed of historic doping stories that damage the sport. It's a PR idea really.

    The only way it could really work is if the UCI said "declare all your past indiscretions, but anything left under the carpet will result in a lifetime ban should it surface from this date..." Then riders are actually incentivised to clear the air. Probably wouldn't work though.
