Dope Wimbledon champions, how about cycling?

Cycling 108 miles at 30mph average speed!

Both men and women’s Wimbledon singles champions in 2025 have served doping bans! This doping fact is barely whispered, why?

Yet if I was to say ‘yesterday was the second fastest Tour de France stage ever’ you know what the immediate response would be! ‘They are all taking drugs’.

I am against drug all taking in sport, but as a sports fan I really struggle with the myopia related to all other sports than cycling.

Just maybe cycling is facing its problem and others are sweeping it away?

‘I was not taking steroids I was taking a treatment for alopecia’!? Footballer Alvarez.

Swiatek – not me guv – ‘it was due to contaminated medication for sleep and jet lag’.

Operación Puerto, was one of the most significant doping investigations in sports history, yet the results were buried at the highest levels, why?

Because 50% of the athletes were not cyclists – they were footballers, tennis players and F1 drivers.

The men’s singles Wimbledon 2025 was the best ever game of tennis.

Yesterday at the Tour de France was a very flat stage and all the teams were chasing a sprint win – it was intense – yet the real story was Matthew van der Poel and Rikaerts who rode on the front all day only being overtaken with 800m to go.

‘Chapeau’. Not ‘Dope’!
