I read an article a few years ago by a former competitive cyclist who had become a biochemist working on drug detection tests. He made a pretty convincing case that all of the top cyclists were using performance enhancing drugs, particularly EPO; part of his evidence (apart from his own anecdotal observations) was that right around the time EPO became readily available the race times suddenly dropped significantly over a period of 2 or 3 years.
