This statement considerably over estimates the benefits provided by doping
practices. Doped or not doped a good rider will be a good rider and a
mediocre rider will be a mediocre rider. The doped rider MAY be a bit
faster than he would have been not doped but the difference is not the same
as the difference between good and mediocre.
