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.

I think cycling has always had a tradition of being a bit dapper, especially back in the day.
cycling class technique
Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class - the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.

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.

I've been proud to be national champion.

But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That's inevitable. Where there's money involved and glory, there are going to be people that cheat, and there will always be ways to cheat.

I'm an accumulation of every single thing I've done, good and bad.
team lazy legs
I shave my legs twice a week. It's hard the first time you do it. But I'm very lazy. For a team photo in December I just did the fronts.
sports mean might
I might have changed, but that did not mean the sport had.
fall sky drunk
The sky was falling down on me and I spent most of the time drunk. It was the only way I could handle it.
