If he has a tight circle around him it will never be proven. Lance was a total asshole and threatening teammates so he was exposed. All RV has to do is keep being himself and he has nothing to worry about. It's a safe bet there will be no takers for his weekly earnings.
And those of you who think performance enhancing drugs would not benefit a MXer need to open your eyes and see what is out there.
You're not just saying that RV *might* be. You're saying that he definitely *is* doping?
Just want to make sure it's clear.

I don't see anyone coughing up 100K to prove him wrong either.
In my day.......that's called putting your money where your mouth is. And I haven't ever seen another rider ever bring that to the table. So RV must feel pretty confident wouldn't you say?
Point is, RV KNOWS whether he is clean or not. But, he's set the bar at 100k to find out. Why so high? set it at 1$ if you know you are clean. He doesn't need 100k.
It's defacto evidence RV doesn't want to be tested on a public stage IMO.
And for anyone here that thinks PEDS, including steroids, EPO/blood doping/other O2 carrying agents, amphetamine analogues and others are not going to benefit pro motocross riders, I've got some ocean front property here in AZ to sell you.
They're here. They're being used. The testing remains "behind" the techniques to hide their use. The sport could easily wind up like cycling......but hopefully will not.
if it works in greyhounds what about moto? http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2012/s3629916.htm
if you are first at school, you are the "teacher's favorite" or a geek
if you can do 10 times more results than your colleagues, you are an ass, not professional, uncool guy (lol), gay (!), etc
if you can more results than your manager, you are an ass, irreliable, not professional, unmanageable, etc
When you win, it is like that, it is war & you have no friend except your family & long time friends circle.
On the other hand, to win, so to fight, it helps to have some ennemies, you want to wax everyone twice more bad.
Pit Row
We all know MX is one of the most physically demanding sports there is - right?
$$$$ 100K! $$$ talk about narrowing the odds!,random blood tests sprung at any time should be the way to go,you'd only need to do a handful because the fear of the unknown would make riders think twice
On the other hand, if you don't think there are PED's that will give you an advantage in MX you need to look into it. There are even PED's in darts! darts people!
Most of the successful riders over the years have spent alot of time on the bike (RC for example). The physical performance and recovery benefits of these drugs surely mean a rider could spend a significantly higher amount of time honing their skills and pushing their speed on the track.
If you are a professional rider and someone provides a drug which means you can increase your track time without being physically beat for the weekend, surely they would improve speed-wise.
I don't know about anyone else but I absolutely slowed down towards the end of a moto if I got tired. Granted, I only raced the local A class but I definitely was beat more often than not simply for the fact they had better fitness - not they were actually a better rider than me.
I'm not accusing anyone but really, how can anyone say PED's can't help...
Personally, I do not care who, if, if not, when or where PED's are being used as it does not affect me or my life one bit.
If that's the case neither will running, cycling,rowing, kettle bells, yoga/stretching, swiss balls, balance boards, nutrition, sleep/travel patterns. In fact; anything off the bike is a total waste of time so just ditch it.
There are two types of people on the "it won't make you faster" wagon.
Oddly enough they are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The ones who know nothing and the ones who know to much.
Interesting developments...

For the record, I never thought Bolt was clean, I don't care how many tests he beat. Manny Pacquiao is/was another.
