Masters Thesis on dope at US Postal, Rabo, Telekom, Cofidis

[ClassicomanoLuigi]

Found this, very interesting in that it is: 109 pages of analysis which really dissects doping on the teams of U.S. Postal Service, Rabobank, Deutsche Telekom, and Cofidis. Apparently it came out online two months ago, and I don't see it having been cited on CN forums yet.

Thus far I'm not really impressed with the conclusions of the thesis, but the data and the case-by-case analysis of every cyclist on the teams, that is definitely impressive. And could be future fodder for discussion.

Thank you!

It strikes me as a major weakness of the hypotheses that "doping" as an outcome variable is measured as a result of positive test results for doping.
