This race was in the EPO era, near about the middle of it. Watch this stage.....probably anyone contending for the victory was doped, whether or not there is testing evidence to support my supposition. That era is past. Nothing to be done about it. 1997 was 25 years ago.....a lifetime in professional cycling. No, doping is not to be condoned and they should not have doped, but many did. I prefer being philosophical about it; that was something from the last century. Racing has moved on.
