You really are desperate. "Guys are dopers because they hang on to cars" now wtf did i say that?
If someone is going to cheat, they cross a line, will everyone who crosses the line cheat in the same manner, probably not, but when it is explained that one is as bad as the other well most will say hanging on to cars/motos or transfusions, give me the transfusion as the commissaire and TV cameras are not going to be watching....
You think a guy will hang on a car and say it is not cheating but doing a blood bag is and cannot see they amount to that same thing? i.e. cheating! Wow give the riders some intelligence.......some of the time at least.
More than a line, they are eras, and risks.. The typical rider dope if most of the cyclist dope, and if the risk of be caucht is low...so,
most of the riders doped in the past and dont dope now, it is not a question: he has been once ilegal or antiethical, so, he will do that always...
There are as well some riders that have never doped, nor in the past nor now, for a question of principles, riders with quality that dont need doping to be at a profesional level or even in the top, anyway..., as well that there are riders that will be always trying how to cheat, and even when the risk is hight, they will try...they could go far, as Santambroglio, but finally Police is not stupid...
But most of riders go with the time...if they dont have a pressure to dope, thet dont do, and most of riders started in profesional cycling after 2008 are clean riders without the pressure or the need to dope, by the contrary, an strong pressure by the society to dont dope, basically, for the media and scandals
If you read Hamilton book, you will see how he started to race clean, he didnt want to dope... the pressure and the environment made him dope, and how at the end of his career he didnt dope... and how he think that today people dont dope in general, becouse there are biopasport and Adams, as well a discredit sport with lot of secrets revealed, and that way you are not in the choice he had to face.
