The NFL is lucky to be based in a country where the authorities have not yet increased their anti-doping vigilance to the same level European law enforcement have. The posters on this forum who advocate that cycling go back to the bad old days of looking the way wrt to doping are missing the new reality: most of the major cycling drug busts have come via law enforcement actions (e.g., Festina, Rumsas, Millar, OP, Quick Step, etc.). The UCI has absolutely no power to change this, and we can all expect much more of the same in the future. Law enforcement exposure of dope rings will continue whether cycling fans and the UCI like it or not. In my view, the UCI and race organizers have no option other than trying to clean up the sport now, because we have moved into an era of modern law enforcement that is no longer compatible with the old system of turning a blind eye to doping. Big Brother is getting bigger every day, and not just for doped-up cyclists. In the real world, members of the general public who get caught possessing or taking prescription medications without proper medical authorization go to jail. They also lose their jobs. It would be fundamentally wrong to have a separate set of rules for professional cyclists, and from a plausibility standpoint, the legal authorities would never grant such a distinction.
The question isn't whether dopers will get exposed and the sport will suffer embarassment. The question is whether cycling authorities will recognize this new reality and try to do something about it.
