Combine that with the perception on in-equality having separate classes, it is coming faster than most think. See AB-467 prize compensation: gender equity . This bill will likely pass and then we wait a couple years to see the fallout.

Another hard one is when folks legally took testosterone and now want to race. Women, and men less so, can build a lot of mass, get off the hormone and still benefit long after.
The very top riders will generally be getting some PED help - "legally" or not. I see no way to control it currently.
You do realize you're advocating eliminating womens pro cycling though, yes?
