I will agree that the vast majority is doing it, however. In a way it's no different than the popular team sports. It used to be that people would ooh and ahh with every news story of a baseball player caught using PED's. Now it's more like "yawnnnn.... another one".

Obviously the answer is to spend more money on testing procedures, trying to close the gap between testing and doping.

Glad you raised that and I also hang onto that belief but at a certain level I think you almost have to in one way or another unless you are a Floyd or Ward, Calzaghe or Jofre. The alternative in many cases is that you will be beaten by someone who is. I think I clarified my position in later posts on the degree of there use. My point is chances are in many cases the guy that is busted was just stupid and his opponent wasn't so he passed the pee test.

PEDS are a broad, broad spectrum. Its much more then cycling systems with roids. The blanket statement I made was really in a devils advocate role. I do believe that the system as it stands today is the biggest enabler of the very thing it claims to be against.There is no adequate testing because they don't want it.They cant even organize a pension plan after 150 years.
