Apols for the newb question, but has there been anything to compare with the doping in the men's over the last 20 years or so?
I've been reading more and more about men's racing in the last few weeks, but haven't come across anything like that.

No - for starters there's bugger all money in womens cycling0 -
Jeannie Longo anyone?Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0

Basically there are a small number of cases but nothing even remotely approaching the levels in mens cycling through the last 2 decades.0

There's doping in every sport. Also in women's cycling.0

People dope in sportives, so I don't buy that argument."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

Sorry but that's nonsense! There's doping in amateur cycling, where there's no money at all, there's definitely doping in women's cycling... although perhaps not on quite such an industrial scale0 -

sheesh, give a fellow forumite a break0 -

Jeannie Longo did not test positive - she missed a couple of whereabouts submissions, and then her husband (and coach) was done for buying EPO (he claimed it was so he could keep up with her on training rides or something similar!)
Edit : although her and his suspensions were both later dismissed.0 -

Yes. Anyone would think that her career lasting 105 years was helped along artificially0 -
What about Andy Schleck? He's just a big girl, isn't he?

I seem to recall this one cause quite a stir.
First time that there was talk of booting cycling out of
the Olympics:

Yes but as stated, not on the same scale. There was an interview with Marianne Vos some time back in ProCycling and she talked about certain riders suddenly improving.M.Rushton0

Christ on a pushbike! "Tammy"?
I have a vague memory of one of the top women being positive for weight-control drugs.Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.0 -

Think that was the young World Champ at the time Bastienelli (sp.) about 4 years or so back.0 -
There was talk in the 90s about some of the mountain bikers but following recent events I think it is a bad idea to mention names without any real evidence.BASI Nordic Ski Instructor
