Cyclists have been doping for a Century and then some....Cycling used to be the greatest sport in the world before soccer and baseball come along( babe ruth and them), and they used to make major money off of 6 day event racing, where riders raced for 6 days straight NON STOP. .....Drugs were needed to do that.

This was before the Tour de France, and all the fancy race shit you see now. Back then, drugs were allowed, because doping wasn't banned until 1965
