Can be partially explained by a lot of those riders no longer being involved but for so many other countries to get so much better than GB in a few years is surprising isn’t it?
I think the finger is being pointed at 'preparation' and I'll admit that cycling's history makes that an obvious finger to point. But it's also funding, (track) cycling has been better funded than most other sports, and also other nation's cycling programs for several Olympic cycles now, best wheels best skin suits, best training, etc. This is far easier for others to catch up.
Paralympics next. We'll be a dominant nation in medals there. Because we have better doping programs? Or because we fund Paralympian training way better than most other nations?

I thought it was just because we like sending young lads into 20-year pointless wars involving lots of IEDs.
Russia has won more medals in Tokyo than any games since 2004, but they are all clean..... honest.
What's even the point in having all the testing programmes etc when you can just blatantly subvert them and basically be allowed to carry on as normal?
I just had a google....after retesting of samples etc there's well over 100 positive tests from the 2012 games now!
I think the athletes caught later in retests might make some athletes, in countries like the UK where it could be reported, think twice. But for many they still get their day in the sun, and the country gets its propaganda of the medal table.

You've hit the nail on the head there. Sadly.
