Vroomen interview
Some interesting views:

CN: Do you think that the sport is doing enough to combat doping?
GV: No. Not a single sport is and cycling is no different.
CN: Where is it falling down then?
GV: I don't get the sense that there's a grand plan. The UCI is doing its thing, the teams are doing theirs, some race organisers are taking some steps but as for the over-arching plan, I'm not sure it exists.
So, when you have problem this massive you need that plan, but I don't see any blueprint and that's the scary part. And it's scary that a lot of sports are looking at cycling and trying to emulate that. I agree there are some good steps being made in cycling that are worth copying but I don't see a strategy because it would involve all those parties working together and as you know not all of them get along swimmingly.
