Interesting to read everyones comments

I didn't intend for this to get into a "who doped or didn't/hasn't" thread... but I think that we are all pragmatic in our understandings about the pressures and that it is most likely that most/all of these boys have tried something at sometime.

But I really believe it might be a "clean" tour this time, with only non-banned substances being used...

And margo is so right... the ability to say "no" has to be supported by team management... and i think the managers and admin staff are beginning to realise that bad choices will do them out of profits... and if thats what it takes to make them grow consciences, so be it.

They have stables of elite atheletes, and these men are so focused and worn out from/on training and racing, they need others to sort out other aspects of their lives. Many days they will too tired to even think... their minders have a responsibility to them, and I am pleased to hope/believe/think that perhaps this challenge to clean has been taken up...
