It appears that drugs are now pretty much a thing of the past. The Blood Passports promote honesty and that will certainly bring back real American participation.

It really does feel like illegal drug use is a thing of the past. However, there is such an incentive and so much sophistication in its use that I doubt we can ever say for sure.

They can try. But the question is: will the tour committee hide it like they did with Armstrong? At that time the committee knew that everyone was doping and they didn't want a black eye on the Tour so they ignored it. The final result was a bigger black eye so I think that they will be a lot more alert now.
