Could the rumours be true - is cycling's dirty era returning?

A new article by Susan Egelstaff in The Herald raises concerns about whether doping is returning to professional cycling, referencing the sport's well-documented dark era of the 1990s and 2000s when drug use was rampant at the highest levels. The piece suggests that cycling, which appeared to have cleaned up its act in recent years, may be facing renewed suspicions around performance-enhancing substances. The article draws on memories of that corrupt period, nearly three decades ago, to question whether history could be repeating itself.
