In fact cycling has always been 'saved' by judicial investigations and not by the anti-doping controls we put in place. That's the harsh truth. We have relied on them to clean the sport up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.
If people really want to clean the sport of cycling up, all you have to do is put your money where your mouth is.
Illegal drug use runs contrary to the image of health depicted by cycling. Distributors of these drugs must be prosecuted more harshly as they are ciminals.
To be brutally honest, it's simple economics. If they want to come into cycling, sponsors need to know the team they are funding is clean, otherwise the risk is just too great.
At the end of the day, cycling is a business, so we have to be able to offer something to a sponsor, and without exposure, that's going to be difficult, but that's where the UCI perhaps has to be a little bit stronger.
Sooner or later a rider will emerge who will win more Tours. In every sport we have seen how the records eventually get broken and cycling is no exception.
Cycling is open to the whole world.
I have the impression that cycling is no longer a game but rather an employment... a job.
There are so many people who have died of cycling, and that didn't happen when I was racing.
Cycling as a whole is totally underestimated.
