legal doping would probably discourage amateurs who will perceive that they have no chance of getting near the pro's unless they spend thousands on doping programs, and who also don't have access to the same medical treatment as in pro teams, which makes it a bit more dangerous.
sure, 99.9% of amateurs would never get near the pro's anyway, but kids gotta dream, right?
i didn't really have a moral problem with doping when i genuinely believed they were all on it. now i think a lot of riders are clean, so the "everybody's doing it" excuse doesn't wash so well.
