>Would some track owners prefer not to endure the inevitable publicity of a successful trainer charged with blood doping?

How much of the problem is related to curruption?

In politics, we know that some politicians understand the problems well, but are essentially handcuffed because their power is bought and paid for by corrupt individuals, corporations, financial interests, groups etc.... looking to profit or expand their own power at the expense of others. Buck that power and you are out and some other dirtbag is brought in soon after.

We are at the stage where everyone knows that drugs are huge problem for the industry, yet the changes remain cosmetic. This all smells very dirty to me.
