Everyone is doping. After anti-doping showed up at the finish line of an amateur bike race in Spain, magically 130 of the 182 races didn't make it to the finish line. With this many dopers, why bother even trying to race clean when it's an open secret everyone is taking EPO and other drugs?
I think an improvement would be to put a $100 bounty on each racer for the testers to collect. That would put real motivation into rounding up the racers instead of them magically disappearing during the race.
Anti-doping showed up at an amateur race in Valencia, 130 riders dropped out
After anti-doping officers from Spain's Commission for the Fight against Doping in Sports (CELAD) showed up to perform random controls on riders of the amateur Interclub Vinalopó in Villena, Spain on Saturday and only 52 of the 182 starters came through the finish line......
One anonymous racer interviewed by Ciclo21 said, "We all know who is and who is not [doping].
"We are fed up with these exhibitions and that when there are controls, curiously the same as always, they do not finish the races to avoid the control, but of course without evidence we cannot accuse, but everything is very evident.
"Last year one of them went off the road and went through the bush to avoid entering the finish line and prevent the anti-doping agents from being able to control him. It's that sad..."
