Chimera? Oh, I thought he said "Gamera." Too bad, because that really would explain a lot about the increase in the speed of the peloton in recent years.

I completely agree with Adam. It's not like the increase in speed over the past decade could be attributed to cyclists having specialized training and coaches or anything like that...
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, with good modern coaching, and the right scientific training, the properly doped athlete can go faster than ever before.
On the other hand, sometimes I wonder if there are clean riders out there, let's just say Georg Totshnig or someone who can go top ten in the tour, someone like that - what could he do if they doped? But then I come back to reality and realize they all dope, and the best are the best because they are the best.
