Doesn't that take all the fun out of sport? If it comes down to only numbers (watts, hematocrit, etc.) wouldn't that mean that it's just numbers with or without doping? Race winners could be decided with a blood test, then go on a ceremonial ride so they can wave to the fans. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but there has to be more to it than that.
