It is a process we should all be part of. Bourguignon did not ride professionally until 1990 and admitted cycling had changed for the worse in recent years. Now young riders take themselves seriously, even before scoring serious results. Now they've become 'killers'. But Bourguignon, who is expected to retire after this Tour, denied the appearance in the past decade of new doping products like growth hormone, erythropoietin and interleukin were to blame for the change of atmosphere in the bunch.
People say money is to blame for cycling's many problems.
It is rubbish.
