Op-Ed: What the CIRC Report Still Doesn’t Know | The Cycle Life | OutsideOnline.com.

Look…as a cyclist for many many years, I am here to tell you that the whole notion of what is doping and what is “cheating” needs to be rethought.

Cycling is caught in the same technological birthing pangs as the science of gender is:  as technology advances so does the ability to bring the body to higher places of performance and congruence…and it is only cheating if the rules are defined to exclude it!

Think Formula One racing, how every single year technology brings out more and more amazing innovative race cars.  Cycling is like that now…new understandings of healing, of training, of recovery.

Bring the rules into the 21st century…let go of old superstitions and bound up views…mandate the in depth use of all the latest techniques under the closest supervision.  Ban those cyclists who don’t seek out these things.

After all, the danger was the clandestine use of these things without reputable supervision…just like the early days of do it yourself HRT
