Nutrition, training and technology have all improved massively since the US Postal years, but some GC riders are all still doping IMHO. Micro-dosing and the use of new, as yet undetected, PEDs still goes on.
I take your point and you clearly know cycling better than me - but as you said training, nutrition and technology have changed beyond recognition but in most cases the times are the same as 10 years ago....

All I was trying to say is that due to sales pressure etc.etc. VW are likely not to be the only people that have done something they shouldn't have.
