    The rules need changed. Period. There’s no end to this game of cat-and-mouse between testers and dopers, so there’ll never be absolute certainty the races are clean. Besides, what’s really the difference between engineering the bike for optimal performance and doing the same for the biological machine that sits on it? http://xkcd.com/1173/

      I don’t think that somehow finding a way to ‘let’ people dope is the answer at all – which i think that is what you’re suggesting, i might be wrong. but if we do that, at what point do you let kids start? and as we know, different people ‘dope better’ than others, a particular drug will work more effectively on one person than another.

      everyone being allowed to dope is not going to make everyone equal. the only answer i see is to combine longer bans with criminalisation of doping. and you never get back into the sport once you retire if you doped.
