See, that's just foolish. Like you said, the sport is shitty. Removing the drugs means we have a shitty sport with people who aren't doing as good as they could on the drugs.

I'm pretty sure cycling is not about doing drugs, in the same way sports is not about acting and democracy isn't an auction for power.

Cycling is about going faster than everyone else. The drugs help. The training helps. The specific bike you use helps. Why restrict part of that?

Cycling is about riding a bike. Taking drugs only detracts from it, hence it's banned.

Next you are going to argue that we shouldn't have banned Mewtwo and Akuma :lol:

I am fucking glad cycling pisses off that many people (who are douches themselves) :lol: Well at least in Europe it's a viable means of transport, and has allocated lanes.
