Using the domos to dope while GC guy is clean is a technique / trickery that is used. Think clean Nibali knew his guy was a bit jacked up when following him up the hill in his TdF win? He certainly benefited from it.
And we saw what Landis did for Lance. I don't think this is much different than in NFL a clean QB having a juiced up line.
It is a reason I like the idea of a team suspension. It does not have to be extreme, but as the "innocent" benefit, sharing in the discipline would aide to clean things up a bit more.
