In the last few days there have been a number of articles about alleged use of electric motors in pro cycling. This is not a new issue, but it would seem that there is better evidence for it now (see linked articles).

I'm old enough to be pretty cynical about this sort of thing, but what did strike me were some of the comments to the Cycling News article. There seems to be an argument over which is worse, using drugs or using electric motors. Frankly, I don't see much difference (is it worse to be robbed at knife point or at gun point?)

What do y'all think? Is one worse than the other?
