| Abstract | Two years after Lance Armstrong's doping admission made a mockery of professional cycling, not much has changed. That is the conclusion of the longawaited report from the Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC), which cost £2m to tell us what many already suspected. Even the muchvaunted biological passport has not deterred the dopers. Introduced several years ago, it gives each athlete an individual electronic record of their blood and urine levels to make it easier for dope tests to spot deviations from the norm in each individual case. But the CIRC report found that cyclists simply take microdoses to leave a minimal trace on the record. So the current antidoping system isn't working, and by my rough calculations based on the income of the World AntiDoping Agency and national equivalent organisations, it costs the Time to lift the ban on doping?
