Witch hunts are based on the presupposition that there are witches to be found. If they stop looking for witches, they won't find any. And the consequences of that are... nothing! Riders will continue riding, continue doping, continue winning, just as they have been all along.

I don't know how witch hunts get started, but they're hard to stop. How is it that football has managed to avoid this, while baseball and cycling have taken it on the nose? Who doesn't think that those linebackers are all roided up. Who really thinks they got into that condition through protein shakes and red meat? And baseball? Why do we care? If a scrawny guy can hit a homer using skill, then Barry Bonds can do what he wants.

If letting it go unregulated is of no consequence, then why regulate it? Trying to police 198 riders when there is a 99% chance of not catching any one of them is impossible. Time to just let it go.
