Alright but increasing punishment hasn't seemed to work, and athletes seem to be doing a better job at beating tests than the establishment has at stopping said athletes. I don't think this is a trend likely to change.
Also, I apologize if this was unclear, but but when I was saying all wages were to be increased thats for all Pro riders, continentals and the like as well. The idea being more to get a contract in their hands early enough that doping is still out of the question (or at least less likely), then pay the m enough that they can survive at the bottom. Yes, there's still incentive to dope for winners, but there arent that many winners in this sport. Again I dont think cases like Ulrich, Basso, Hamilton are the majority of the cases, they're the majority of what makes the news but thats becauses the news doesn't care about a joe no-one pro tour rider doping and doesn't rant and rave for day after day.
