True, I was not paying attention.
On to Doping. All my opinions.... I've been around the top juniors in the world for a while, and some 2nd tier pros and some old timer USA hall of fame dudes and as mentioned been to many places.
-1st Duh point - everybody is not the same.
-2nd Duh point - there are similarities found within country and culture. Races in Germany are different.
-3rd - we (USA) are pretty serious about prosecuting drug offenders. I was eating breakfast with my wife looking at the door across the street and commented that the guy we often call Jean Val Jean works there - USA Olympic HQ. I think USA cycling has pretty doping free riders at the top. I even think many of the pros are, but the serious teams know how to game the system. The top riders are using drugs, legally sometimes. But they have managers that know how to do that.
