Maybe implement this at the level you have to be part of a team to race. A non doping GC rider benefits from doping teammates - if they are riding as a team. Maybe differentiate between team and club. At some level this is too costly to control and "not worth it", but at the team competition level - I proposed an idea that I think would help.

I mentioned this. You penalize all those that were in the race sharing the same jersey. So all riders that started and you could extend to the driver. This is the same concept used in team field sports when someone is late - coach makes the whole team do extra laps. It gets fixed.

If implemented, this would not happen. Clubs wouldn't allow that jumping in/jumping out.

You may not like the suggestions, but I don't see anything else that works. Maybe the alternatives are worse than racing with cheaters.
What would you do?
