what about the east german athletes not playing fair during the late nineties?

it’s all about who stands to gain from the whole propaganda campaign, and unfortunately the riders are at stake.

I personally think that a well-developed riders’ union is sorely missed. When the peloton can put the tdf or roubaix or msr or gdi in its place and not have to kowtow to sponsors/teams/national interests/UçI whims then the riders have won, and not before.

It would be nice if everyone played on a level field. As long as one feels smarter than another that is more talented, all things being equal, then cheating no matter how it is disguised or justified, will enter the picture.
