Doping scandals and cycling are nothing new. In fact one can be go back as far as 1886 to find a case as an English cyclist is said to have died after drinking a toxic brew of cocaine, caffeine and strychnine. The new style of doping has come in both needle form, and in methods as complex as blood transfusion, and it seems like everyone is `doing it.¿ Alberto Contador, who won the Tour in 2007, 2009-2010 and American Floyd Landis who won in 2006, were one of the many who tested positive. Controversy even surrounds those with the highest level of respect in the cycling world. Lance Armstrong, who after beating cancer, won the tour from 1999-to-2005, was accused by Landis and a number of other cyclist of doping and indirectly paying off testers so that he would not come up guilty. |
