Assume a highly motivated top tier ProTour cyclist.
In hypothetical one, the cyclist dopes ONLY out of competition using the best doping practices available and maximizes his training accordingly.
In hypothetical two, the cyclist trains out of competition completely without doping and ONLY dopes during races. In this hypothetical, the cyclist may (but need not) withdraw blood for later use.
Further assume that in both hypotheticals, that the racer is not UCI-protected but dopes to the max possible without being caught.
Which hypothetical racer will outperform the other? In what kind of races? In what kind of seasons?
