  • Why Tour De France Riders Dope
    Lozoya 1 Bobby Lozoya Professor Patterson Writing 50 June 2012 Mashing Gears and Clogging Arteries: Why Tour de France Riders Dope It has become common to find the latest and greatest riders of the Tour de France (TDF) in the news often lately. Unfortunately, this is not because of the fortune or fame they acquired by performing well in the race or even because of the thousands of calories, sweat, and passion they poured into their training. They are in the news because of the cheating accusations mounted against them for performing too well in their sport. Underdog victories and superhuman Lozoya 2 performances are not regarded with positive feedback but instead provoke suspicion, investigation, and rigorous drug testing. Road cycling has turned sour. As a result, the fan base is wavering and quickly loosing hope in the sport (Caple). This is happening not only because drug use exists, but also because it is becoming increasingly hard to find a rider who is willing to be honest and accountable for his actions. It seems to be the case nowadays that half of the battle for a rider is winning the Tour de France, and the other half is spent on months of litigation in proving his innocence. Having the winner determined some period of time after the riders cross the finish line is not fair for the spectators as it makes the experience less exciting. In this research paper I present evidence that attempts to show that the act of doping in the Tour de France is not entirely dependent on personal choice regarding the desire to win, but it is more a function of performance expectations from the spectators, employing teams, and race organizers, but more importantly, these cyclists are simply trying to complete the race in good health.
