McDruggen exists because the people who control the UCI want McDruggen to exist.
All this doping could be killed off with stiff team sanctions, yet somehow it is just too much to expect teams to police their own riders. Give me a break.
Pro cycling is about exploitation of the poor stupid bike riders. Their careers hang by a thread, they are placed under enormous pressure, and they aren't paid that much. On top of that the pressure of antidoping generally sits on them alone--the team can always drop them like a hot potato.
