I wish I was 21 now.

[Exit Stage Left]

I was searching for information on the Sociology of the peloton, and came across this document, presented to a conference in Australia in 2010. It covers most of the ground I'm interested in surrounding perceptions of doping from within pro-cycling. It's structured around anonymised interviews. It might be difficult for those not familiar with some of the jargon of academic sociology, and it's 174 pages long. There are some good insights, worth reading to see where we are headed. It's a pdf, so I'll link to a search page. The section from page 119 is most relevant to understanding the herd behaviour of the Peloton.
