The real potential is getting more volume out of existing customers, not expanding the base. Attracting 21-year-olds that argument's been made for 50 years, but racing has always been an activity that appeals to older people. You need two things disposable time and disposable income. It'll always be a specialized, somewhat eccentric activity that appeals to people who like the intellectual challenge of doping out the races.

It is always a great day for clean athletes when individuals who cheat are held accountable and stripped of the rewards gained through doping.

As for doping, it's a minority. And we are working to address that, too.

It's totally stupid to say that. We all train very hard to get to the top in a clean way and in the fight against doping.

This is a problem rooted in both perception and reality, and it is a problem related to doping, athlete conduct, and the credibility of the sport.

I'm not in a position to say that all athletes are clean. I'm not naive enough to say that. But to say that they're all guilty or imply that they're all guilty of doping is unfair.

It is disappointing that there are people in our sport who are doping.

Not for a second did I think it was going to turn out this way. The bottom line is an innocent athlete was suspended from competition. You could say it's a victory for USADA (U.S. Anti Doping Agency), but I think it's better to say it's a tragedy for all athletes. I'm innocent.

His statements make me nauseous. It is clear that doping exists in all sports, but not all are doped or drug addicts, as he is insinuating.

We have been expecting gene doping, but not so soon. I don't know how they have it, but they do.

Since I have lost any sense of joy in participating in the sport due to the unfair and vexing handling (of the doping charges), I will enter into my previously planned retirement a few weeks early.

It is also the first National Games after the two important regulations on doping control were issued, and it's an important opportunity to check our work.

How could they not know? It's not chewing gum, doping is like making love, you need two to do it, the doctor and the athlete

Anyone who even goes near steroids has to be crazy. But that doesn't mean performance enhancement is gone. Genetic doping. It's all in the genes. Steroids are history.

It (the doping scandal) is a tragedy for me. It makes me want to cry. I am seriously considering putting an end to this year's season... I don't feel like training, much less competing.

You walk a fine line when you put someone on a list and they're innocent. I think the media is really misinformed and looking for a doping scandal, and it isn't a doping scandal. Unfortunately, there are people who are passed as dopers who aren't doping. The have to have a better test. It's not good enough, and it's not fair for people who work really hard and have naturally high levels.

We are naturally disappointed when any British athlete admits to being involved in doping to enhance his performance.

I had grown used to getting a pat on the back and being told after a good result: 'Well done, David - you should be happy, you're the first clean rider.

One group of riders doped, the others alongside them racing clean. You can work out for yourselves which group was fastest.

I loved racing, and I loved being a cyclist, but I struggled with the people and the environment. The world of doping and the law of silence - the omert? - that went with it were eroding my self-respect.

People think doping is for lazy people who want to avoid hard work. That might be true in some cases, but in mine, as with many riders I knew, it was precisely the opposite. EPO granted the ability to suffer more; to push yourself farther and harder than you'd ever imagined, in both training and racing.

I'd just killed some of the best riders in the world - and I was clean. I'd taken nothing - no EPO, no cortisone, no testosterone, no painkillers, no caffeine. I had justified to myself that I was a great rider without drugs - yet perversely given myself the green light to dope again. I'd proved what I could do clean - how much more could I do if I was doped?
