I know that some people consider golf a game, but it is a true sport. Tennis too. Both are skilled sports, so are basketball, baseball, football. Skilled sports, in general, have less doping involved. Of course, baseball and football are different than the other skilled sports in that a great amount of strength and power are necessary. And the point is that those types of sports lead to a different subset of drug usage (i.e., anabolics over blood doping). Does the use of anabolics mean that those sports are more drug-laden than cycling? I don't think so. It's just a different subset of drugs, so cycling fans can't say unequivocally that football is more drug-laden than cycling.
