I don't know who's doing what, and I admit that every time someone races way better than anyone else I wonder what he might taking.

On the other hand, Laurent Fignon has admitted to doping during his career, and Greg LeMond beat him in the TdF. So do we assume that LeMond must have doped also? That would make him a pretty ferocious hypocrite.

I do think that there are many cyclists racing today that are clean. For starters, I might be naive, but I believe that the guys on Garmin would not bother joining that team unless they intended to ride clean. And they're awfully successful.
