That, and anti-doping controls are not very effective; error heavily on the side of the doper.
Even the biological passport isn't very effective of a deterrent to most dopers.
Yes, the sport is probably cleaner than in about 2002-2004 or so, when probably most of the top 50 finishers in major races were later tied to doping one way or another. But clean? No.
