It seems like the fundamental strategy of preserving blood samples will clean up cycling to a great extent, though it will take a few more years. It just gets to be too likely that science catches up with you, disgraces your name, and revokes your titles.

Maybe not so bad for Lance, who can take comfort in his fortune, but for most pro cyclists, all they will ever win is honor, which is easily stripped and besmirched.

the report "showed blood values whose likelihood 'of occurring naturally was less than one in a million'". Regardless of his doping, surely we'd expect there to be something extraordinary about such an athlete's physioology ?
