Cycling’s governing bodies need to own up to their inadequacy. If you impose rules on participants, you must have adequate and valid means for enforcing those rules. I am on the record as being ambivalent about PED use, and could probably even get behind the idea of its acceptance in all sports (provided no laws are broken).

Cycling’s enforcement regime is just riddled with problems. I think you either have to have a bright line definition (you test positive, you’re out), or don’t test or enforce at all.

We are definately in agreement on governing bodies needing to take responsibility for the way they have managed the sport.
