I've always wanted to put very big, very yellow Dope Control stickers on my trailer and park it at a race. It'd be interesting to see who suddenly doesn't start.
USADA came to a couple crits in the area, definitely not national level crits. A few riders never showed (some of them quit racing for a year or two, until USADA ran out of money for these small time crits). Others didn't race quite as well as expected.
There's one rider that I think is on a test replacement kind of thing, and it seems he likes the benefits of it, and also doesn't care one iota how he finishes at races. So he finishes at the back, he doesn't go bananas during the races, just pack fodder. He likes the riding and he likes the benefits of test replacement. I can understand. A friend's dad was on test replacement and my friend said it really helped improve quality of life for him. So I get it. It's just not legal for racing.
