Cat 1s as well since they want to be domestic pros they'll need to dope. 2s who want to be 1s....
And FWIW it seems to have stopped Contador and Chodroff and Kenny Williams and Floyd Landis....
I can assure you that my head is fine (or maybe not - I pulled an all night for my physics test). My point was strictly theoretical. I by no means condone doping in any form. My point was, that the problem of doping seems to exist without solution. Even with sensitive drug tests, athletes continue to use performance enhancing drugs. Thus, having "everyone" do it would neutralize the field.
I get what you're saying. I simply being cynical.
