Is biking uniquely attractive to cheaters?
- robjan 2y agoYou can either enhance the athlete or the equipment, it just so happens that cycling involves more complex equipment attached to the athlete than most sports. I imagine this is even more of a concern in the Paralympics where various prosthetics, mobility equipment and other assistive technologies could give certain athletes unfair advantages.
- rurban 2y agoYes. The big tours had big cheating and the omerta going on for almost a hundred of years. And the never caught ex-dopers are now TV commentators or race managers. Without illegal methods you wouldn't be able to perform at this level. Go watch "Icarus"
- timeon 2y agoThe thing with Lance Armstrong popularized idea (especially in US) that cycling is exceptionally infested with cheating. But there is doping even in curling.
