Good morning
- A look at why doping is so prevalent in cycling. "Doping is so effective in cycling because the sport is almost entirely a test of endurance. A basketball player can increase his endurance and strength through cheating, but it’s difficult to improve shooting technique with drugs. The same goes for such other high-technique sports as tennis and soccer." Of course, there is cheating in every sport - even chess. And Scrabble. And Poker. And figure skating. Let's face it, when people really, really want to win. Some of them will cheat.
You didn't even mention all the doping going on in baseball and football. And not just at the pro level. Doping is a big problem in cycling, but it's just as big a problem in other sports too.
