Default Re: Masking agents??
If you rely upon federal police to enforce UCI/IOC/WADA rules, w/o any sanctions then you are reading the Nike media scripted tales of woe.

Roid Landis: No sanctions
Michael Rassmussen: No sanctions
Lance Pharmstrong: No sanctions
Frankie Andreu: No sanctions
Jan Ulrich: No sanctions
Rolf Aldag: No sanctions, still a TM mgr.
T-Mobile: No sanctions
Bjarne Riis: No sanction, and still CSC equity owner & mgr
Erik Zabel: No sanction
Ivan Basso: Italian sanction, w/o any admission of guilt
Elisa Basso: No sanctions (Operation Athena)
Johan Museeuw: No sanction, still a Quick Step mgr.
Danilo DiLuca: No sanctions
Eddy Mazzolini: No sanctions (Operation Athena & Roche Pharma)

Pretty much the same doping apology story as in Disney-ESPN's MLB, Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, Baroid Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Mark McGwire, Bobby Estelella, Armando Rios, Orlando Cepeda, Esteban Loaiza, Josh Hancock (now dead), Tony LaRussa.

ESPN/MLB has taked NO ACTION and neither has the UCI.

Better read that media news more carefully. You glossed over the underlying fact: dopers must stay in TV sport.

What about Hamilton and his team in the Vuelta caught and under suspension for blood doping? What about Heras caught for EPO in the Vuelta and expelled while leading?

I can go on with many more names caught doping over the last couple years. Before yes, I agree cycling did not much to catch dopers -- now cycling, while still far from perfect, is better than any other sport at catching doping.
