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.
If people really want to clean the sport of cycling up, all you have to do is put your money where your mouth is.
It is cycling as a professional sport that represents the problem. It can transform someone into a liar.
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.
Everyone in the world of cycling knows how much it is a team sport as well as individual. It's just amazing to be a part of.
Cycling as a whole is totally underestimated.
Cycling is open to the whole world.
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
In sport you always think the strongest guy should be going for it and getting the best results. The thing is, cycling also has a very important team aspect, which I don't think that a lot of people fully grasp.
I have the impression that cycling is no longer a game but rather an employment... a job.
