Other sports certainly have lots of dopers, but by the very nature of cycling (in which the pure physical fitness aspect is a higher percentage of the determining factor than in other sports) doping is more prevalent.

So... we're going to turn *this* thread into the next "who's doping" thread?

My contribution: I think you're being naive. And like someone (waterrockets?) said, I'm becoming numb to the whole doping thing. Let's watch some racing.

While I don't want doping to be the only thing discussed here it IS and HAS BEEN a big part of professional road racing since the beginning of the tour de france. It was a big deal even in the days of Eddy Merckx (who failed two drug tests btw). I see no reason why you can't just ignore threads on doping. Think of it this way:

* You're sitting at the train station and to your right two people are discussing doping in sports, what do you do? That's right, YOU DON'T JOIN IN THE CONVERSATION.

listen to your own analogy.

You should never disagree politely with botto. Be rude, abrasive and confrontational. He wouldn't want it any other way.

By the way, doping RULES.

Bongo uses EPO.

The Wisdom of botto is inspiring and depressing at the same time.
