The idea was in the air for long, it just needed money and power to detonate. It is incredible what money and power do to human brains. [1] [2].

I really wonder why to restrict to drugs and not putting propulsion jets over your bike... or run together with your dog or a cheetah (without harming them).

Well, that activity is not about bicycle sports, but obviously similar to the infamous Group B competition with a lot of victims especially among observers. But if the Government is holding a wrong opinion that taking a dope is unsafe - it has to get lost with their stupid regulations.

On a sidenote the (quantity of ephedrine) doping [1] that condemned Diego Maradona in the 1994 World Cup [2] is not illegal now [3].
