Of course, cycling has still not reached bottom in my opinion. As long as the immense pressure from the sponsors exist, doping will continue.

It's become culture. And as we all know these days, ya can't just show up at somone's door and change culture overnight without a wee bit resistance i.e. Eddy Merckx claiming DNA is a "violation of civil rights". Get real Eddy.

Hats off to Slipstream/Chipolte for taking a very brave stand in an otherwise disjointed sport that is suffering from such an identity crisis.
