This interview with Vaughters is interesting and informative as he is thoughtful and articulate: http://www.bicycling.com/garmin-insider/featured-stories/jonathan-vaughters-talks-doping-reform?page=0,0

Hang onto your hats - there's only going to be more of this in the near future. It's sad. What's even more sad to me, are the amateur racers who are doing the same thing, and are now being found out. As a racer, it's dis-heartening.

At first I thought we should just let it all go, the past is the past. But the Vaughters interview convinced me that we need to get it all out before we move on. Truth and then reconciliation. You can't have reconciliation without truth.

Reading about this has been helpful to me because I was of the uninformed opinion that passing many, many drug tests was good enough. I did not realize how easy it was for a very long time to pass the tests.

I never was that interested in bike racing. But I am interested in why people do what they do.
