or targeted training...

and yah...pogacar is making it look like basso did in the "extraterrestrial" 2006 giro. we all know how that ended...
I don't believe every professional athlete is willing to cheat in order to win. I'm sure there are clean athletes in the peloton.
But I do believe enough of them are willing to cheat that winning clean is very unlikely. To win clean you'd have to be better than:
1. Every other clean athlete
2. Every cheating athlete + the benefit they get from cheating
#2 just seems very improbable to me.
