It looks like cycling is not the only sport with EPO blood doping problems:

Most of you know my views on the marginality of cycling and golf as sport, but this is a no-brainer, right? There's no one in their right mind that can call billiards a sport.

To me, a sport is a match on which you have a reliance on teammates. Sure tennis can be strenuous (it was one of my favourite games to play as a kid), but it's just a strenuous activity.

Cycling is one of the most pure team sports. It's not just a bunch a guys riding as fast as they can.
Every member of the team has very specific roles just like in baseball, hockey and football. And they are a billion times tougher than soccer players.

billards...wtf...what benefit would Axel gain from doping?? mind boggling.
