Here cyclists are often educated and they have some life experience and a better moral compass before turning pro (with exceptions of course). In Europe, they race at age 15 and they put all their eggs in that basket, no college and little parent guidance.

Not easy to turn a whole way of thinking around, but the only way to get rid of it.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975166166057929190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26275211.post-9922194001961407252011-02-28T13:05:13.599-07:002011-02-28T13:05:13.599-07:00sorry...not ASADA but USADAsorry...not ASADA but USADAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26275211.post-53565231995738346412011-02-28T13:03:56.609-07:002011-02-28T13:03:56.609-07:00One must remember if there is no doping there is n...One must remember if there is no doping there is no need for WADA, ASADA or Tygart and they can't let that happen.
