risk reward will never change the natural skew. The prize and rewards are nearly the same. The tests are god easy to beat. There are a few categories of dopers, and always will be. Perhaps the domestiques might back off. But we are talking the "winners" category. That doping category, competes with itself. The rewards are close to zero sum. (OK, Wiggo's endorsement deals might suffer a little because of Armstrong), and the "winners" will always be competing against their own category of dopers, for the rewards pie, and dividing up those rewards between themselves. Only changes if there is a material level of domestiques who back off completely and ride clean, and do the 200km in the wind everyday on their lonesome at the front of the peloton (on bread and water)
The TdF always will exist as the best and cheapest tourism campaign ever concocted.
