Pro peloton - Drug cheating 90%+, check
Pro peloton - Dope dealing 25%+, check



How do you think riders get their dope? Other riders and doctors.

Continuing slagging Joe Papp for what lots of other athletes have done in their athletic career is OTT.

You make me laugh.
You endlessly berate the sport for its drug cheats, but when you actually come into contact with one, you ***** foot around like teenager with a crush.

Papps post deserves the ridicule it has received.

Know of many better sources for intel? Most we know about current day doping is through the very rare dopers that opened up. Of the limited number getting caught, most keep their mouths shut.
It's sound to look at the validy or, terrible word, "credibility" of a source, and surely more investigation is always warrented regardless of intel source, but we cannot be too picky in picking roads to enlightenment.
I am not sure there is anything more reliable in this context than the word of a former doper having switched to the light side. Yes, police phone taps are nice. But as rare as talking dopers.

You're arguing the wrong point though - that is probably correct where the doper was in the same network as the person being discussed and/or has first hand knowledge of the situation.

What we have here is Joe posted a fairly vague recollection of when a convicted doper told him that two other riders had said to him that they had hear rumours about Boardman. Thats not information, thats junk
