Money and doping

Do you think if teams changed their contracts to say 'riders caught doping will get sacked and have to pay back their salary and bonuses x 3' it would drastically reduce doping?

Basso, Contador, Hamilton, etc... Get busted for doping, serve their ban and move on.

Armstrong is being worked over in the rack by USPS.

Do you think severe financial penalties would reduce doping?

I agree about the pressure from managers.

How about - 3x their salary for riders.

And 3x the whole team's salary, + a lifetime ban for directors who push riders to dope.

3x the salary of riders they worked with for dope Doctors. And riders are only allowed to work with team approved Doctors.
