Klaus-Peter Thaler On Recreational Doping & Tour Doping

"Doping is a general issue with professional sports but also mass sports
(ed: i.e. marathons) and recreational sports. I personally am categorically
against doping in professional sports, but I am worried that the dangers are
even greater in amateur, or if you like, hobby sports in particular. In such
situations, there are, of course, no controls, and this allows people to use
substances in an uncontrolled and unregulated manner. .............


I have always tried to keep out of all of this, which incidentally is
something people do not always believe. To say that I have never ever used
anything would be something that I would not like to have set in stone. All
I can say is that I have ridden the Tour five times and that during these
times I have never taken a banned substance, but of course I also never won
the Tour. Being 35th overall, winning three stages, finishing many times in
the top ten in stages, two days in the yellow jersey - these are certainly
successes, but not too much in the grander scheme of things."

Sounds like the right "such situation" to me.
Roll it tight, or else I'll have to do it.

People don't believe he tries to keep out of it?

Well. you know, you're a prominent athlete known for being easy going,
trusting, guilless and gullible, like Barry Bonds and along comes some
snake in the grass and gives you a cream for a few thou that he says
is just (OK, what was it supposed to be again?) Being the trusting
sort and all, Mr. Bonds uses it and says with the confidence of any
person that lives in the warmth of trusting human relationships that
he never used steroids.

And then reality hit him head-on.

The real casualty of all this, BTW, is probably Barry's trusting and
open nature...
