Mathieu van der Poel is cheating somehow
And in extension, pro road cycling sure as hell isn’t clean. But, that’s OK from a spectators perspective, just enjoy the show.
All common sense suggests that British Cycling (and British Athletics) are due a huge doping scandal, see Richard Freeman for instance. But, it will never come out in it’s entirety as there is to much to lose for both sports. A BC scandal involving the track squad and Froome/Thomas/Wiggo would force to many questions of the IOC, of the UCI and of the sport in general. British Athletics are too closely connected to USA Track & Field and Nike for that to be allowed as well.
However, irrelevant of the above, the volume of doping in cycling is nothing compared to football.
