Why be a cyclist?

[I Watch Cycling In July]

If you are a cyclist that is clean - and winning quite often and being successful, you will never be tempted to dope.

Agree. I wondered about this, whether there is more motivation to dope for the less successful riders (Asterloza?) - because otherwise they can't keep riding.

Read an extract today from Willy Voet's book about festina, he mentioned about weaker riders trying to get a bigger share of the collective PEDs.....They might also think there is less chance of them being caught.

Is it really all about winning?
