A number of posts implied limited implications due to doping. just to be clear -
a) lance's cancer may have been due to taking testosterone
b) cyclists have died due to doping. EPO and other methods aim to increase red blood cell count. if its too high your bood is likely to clot while you sleep which is potentially lethal.
c) a doping allowed league would get ugly really really quickly. how many competitors would need to die before it was considered cruel?
d) people are more interested in a sport they can participate in. the rules should be the same from the pros down to the casual amateurs
