Why the crackdown in this particular pro sport?

With the prevalence of doping within baseball being so widespread that the league decided to put asterisk beside the "doping years".
It is so common within football that nothing is even trying to BE done about it.

WHY is it such a big deal among cyclists that they use no manner of aid? For real?

I think that many of us can agree that doping of some type or another had been and likely still goes on within the sport. I think it would be a safe guesstimate to say that a larger part of the peloton in any given professional race is doing, or trying to do something to bypass rules, just like any other form of racing. Why is it that the powers that be within cycling have decided that all cyclists must be "doping" free and to have taken such destructive steps to make examples of several high profile participants in this practice?
