    You are right, but people are short-term. Most people will read the first 50% of this piece and immediately go in search of some HGH. A near-term positive is a lot more alluring than a higher-magnitude long-term negative.

    yes of course. they will take the risk. they are mentally ill, one definition of which is ‘any of various conditions characterized by impairment of an individual’s normal cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning.’ doping with this stuff is indicative of an impairment of cognitive functioning.

      By that definition most people are mentally ill. Most people drink, eat or smoke to excess, none of which are prohibited by any rule, never mind PEDs which are.

      I share your despair at the laissez-faire attitude among the public and regulators alike, I think the problem is that not enough people are at the sharp end; not enough people compete (at all, never mind) against cheaters. Or maybe as we agree, most people don’t care about doping and they perpetuate their sports accordingly?

    Call me naive – Is there any suggestions to a solution? Every athlete tested at every event ? (funded by all teams participating) Open class to allow PED’s (wild west style, like what you describe happening in your neck o’ the woods) I like the reminders (again and again) that drugs are BAD, but now what? Why is it that solutions are the hip topic? Why did the Velo-press hype/demi-gog McQuaid, then not say much at all with Cooksons’ “crowning” Why aren’t solutions being stuffed into palatable packaes for all to cosume/digest????????????Maybe someone will have a solution that makes sense that could be implemented to “guarantee” cyclings purity, (obviously there is no guarantee possible but…..)

      Meant to say: Why is it solutions are NOT the hip topic?

        there are some ideas, increasing ban lengths, making doping criminal (theft/fraud etc), but to ‘solve’ this we’d need to re-wire humanity. but it could be far FAR better than it is right now, and yes, we do need a blueprint to be set out by the UCI President. but when do politicians do that? if you you write down ‘my solution’ then you can be held account for your failings. so, let’s hope Cookson has the integrity required for this…

    I say lifetime ban, with exceptions for ratting out the crooked docs, managers, etc. Independent testing should resolve any conflict-of-interest issues. Criminal penalties will certainly help in the investigative front, but I’m content to simply have the cheats tossed out of the sport – they need not go to jail.
