Yeah and the testing now possibly makes it very difficult to really have the huge performance differences from drugs that existed in the 90's. Particularily with Armstrong, who has had to be tested so often. Even some of those that accuse Armstrong and/or the teams he rode with of doping have said things along the lines of 'if no one doped, Armstrong would dominate the Tour'
