Oregon-based pro Doug Ollerenshaw on the economic incentives to dope in the U.S. cycling scene:

“The point, though, is that here in the US at least, dopers are rare. Rare and sad. If someone feels the need to cheat in order to gain slightly more fame and no more money than a checker at Wal-Mart, all while wearing an uglier uniform, then I think the main emotion thatshould be collectively invoked for them is sympathy.”

Nice.
