Why clean(er) matters

OK, I don't entirely buy that there are now no deaths attributable to doping (just because there are no dead young cyclists with EPO in their systems). But even if a very large percentage of the very very few "unusual" deaths of the last few years were in some way doping related, the death toll is still way, way better than it was in the past.

man

so much funny in that article.

“Cycling claims victory for the war on doping as death toll tumbles” mission accomplished

“I believe that’s because the sport of cycling went about tackling EPO head on.” just ask fmk

“It also shows the days of a Floyd Landis cheating through doping are over.” glad to hear. i guess it’s all mechanical doping now

Um, yeah. Or rather, determinedly deceptive.

Doesn’t change the “fewer dead” part, though.

yeah

didn’t really mean to downplay that part. it’s definitely a great thing. if anything it (hopefully) shows that kids aren’t taking as many stupid risks with their health in order to get results.
