    Excellent overview of the challenge with doping in cycling. It will be interesting to see the early deaths in the near future since the doping era had some of the widest use of testosterone, epo, and HGH. For those that have ill feelings against Armstrong, he may find that there are health repercussions to his actions sooner than later. However, it also says something about our society which is so focused on drugs. I’m a workers’ compensation attorney in Georgia, and I am seeing prescribed drugs as a major part of today’s injury rehab. In other words, some of what we are seeing in cycling is a mirror to the trends in treating people outside sport.

    “Do no harm”……I’ve heard most graduating med students choose not to take the Hypocratic oath, an established trend for a while now. Also thanks for offering a solution, keeping track of doctors is a great idea!

    Gert Jan’s problem might be he still trains about 5 hours a day, usually on a mountain bike in very small shorts. To make matters worse he’s bald and covered in ink.

    I questioned the issue of team doctors direct with the UCI back in the days of ONCE when they had 9 doctors and 2
    mechanics.

    Q I asked if they were actually Doctors, qualified like a GP ?
    A. No idea.
    Q Do they have UCI Licences like Dir Sportifs and race organisers
    A No.
    Q Why not…. how can the be allowed in the pro peloton if they do not have a UCI Licence.
    A From the next year on they all had to have a UCI Licence (So I was informed)
    Q I also asked if my GP gets £ 35 for a 10min session with a patient so generally Doctors are very highly paid, so how can they prefer to work for a team – unless they have already been struck off.
    A. No idea.
    Also in the cases where a Doctor is required at any of the races, for a child, media or spectator whatever they always call one locally – NEVER does a team doctor assist and also in a race it is ONLY the race doctor that attends NEVER the team Doctor.

    It has always seemed to me that “harm” can be, and is, interpreted in wildly different ways by various members of the medical profession.

    History is littered with many examples of the bending of medical ethics for idealogical and or religious reasons. I suppose the most extreme example being Dr Mengele, who, while carrying out his horrific experiments, probably felt he was working for the good of his people. And there’s been no shortage of religiously motivated medical decisions made in this country.

    In modern times, the threshold of what constitutes “harm” seems to be inversely proportionate to the amount of money to be made. From celebrity cosmetic surgery to doping, there seems to be a plentiful supply of doctors ready to pander to peoples vanity should the money be right.

    Or maybe, like the surgeon hacking at a beautiful woman’s face to “help her feel better about herself”, the likes of Ferrari genuinely felt they were helping. Isn’t that a scary thought.
