@Jay210071 Thankfully Track cycling is a form of cycling not normally associated with the drug related headlines, Contador for example. While there have been doping violations, Gergory Bauge (Fr) recieving a backdated ban and loss of world champion title for 2011 for example, this was, however, for failing to turn up to a test. As far as i'm aware Track cycling is one of the cleaner forms of competitive cycling.

@Jay210071 It only looks bad because the tests are so strenuous and they actually have people looking things up and keeping track whilst other sports don't get as many allegations because it isn't looked after as well, it seems kind of silly that they dope but everybody wants to be at the top so badly that they kind of have to, of that makes sense, because if they don't then they won't perform as well. It wrecks it I know and I wish everybody just stopped so it was more fair :(
