The unanswered question is, how much advantage is there in doping below the levels of detection? I'm not sure I believe it's the ONLY reason Pantani could fly up the mountains like that, partly because I'm also pretty sure there were a lot of others using similar enhancements.
(That, and I feel sorry for Pantani because he clearly was one messed up dude)
