I still maintain that the issue in most other spots is likely to be far less significant.
Its a distraction.
Psychologists have a model for how we deal with traumatic news. There are 4 stages and each has to be gone through. The first is denial - well, we've been there for years! The second is "self justification" - stuff like "what about all the other sports" and "don't they know how hard bike racing is?". From there we get more positive with "exploration" and finally "acceptance". I don't think we've got to exploration yet - having a look at the brave new world on the other side!
Like I said before - there'll always be cheats, but it will be nice to get to a handful every season rather than every race!
