WTF? Are we supposed to believe guys dope only for prize money or contractual bonuses, and not to cash in on their next contract? As a factual matter, are there cyclists with hugely incentive-laden contracts of the sort that are banned in baseball by the commissioner's office (they'll let reasonable bonuses get by, but it generally can't be a huge chunk of your contract)? Insights into this one appreciated. It is 13 degrees farenheit outside here in NYC, BTW.--Shayana Kadidal
