So if I invent a new way to cheat that can’t be detected, it’s somebody else’s fault for not catching me fast enough?

I think it's rather preposterous to invent rules that are unenforceable. Let's say there was a magical performance enhancing drug that was not only legal, but absolutely undetectable by any test of any kind. Then let's say cycling banned it. What would be the purpose? Everyone would be on an honor system. This is essentially the state of cycling today. They are unable to objectively enforce their own rules.

They didn’t invent rules that were unenforceable, the cheaters invented ways to evade the enforcement. We don’t strike crimes from the books just because criminals innovate and find a way to commit them without getting caught. That’s just silly.
