More reason to hate DN
I have never really liked Dagens Nyheter and their article Den besudlade cykelsporten certainly hasn't changed that view.
Do you think Ulf Näslund, SCFs anti-doping person, really intended to give the view he did? What is the strategic point in confirming DN's view that doping has been a part of cycling for 60 years??? What's more worrying is when things like Dopingtråden appear on motionär forums like HappyMTB. So now journalists have SCF's view that all professional cyclists use some kind of doping and then HappyMTB gives the proof that hobby cyclists are also cheating. How does this help anyone's image of cycling?
I only use energy gels containing sugar. I am one of the slowest cyclists in every race. One has to wonder about the rest of the field.
If SCF wants to do something useful it should somehow reward cyclists for staying clean or reward clubs or trainers for promoting clean cycling right from the start. Having us do an online test is not going to help.
