It seems athletes are just willing to take this risk. Or, like in some instances, they get forced to do it by senior people they trust. 

But like I heard on a podcast, why is it only the athlete that gets slammed? Why don't the administrators/coaches behind the scenes also get a lashing? Salazar is an example of a coach that got nailed, but in general? 

Nope, everyone gets it on this channel, especially the old dopers now involved with teams where athletes break doper records from years ago and are supposedly "clean".

Age groupers shouldn't get prize money, especially if you're employed in a high position at a well-known bank. But I get your point. 

IMHO, for age groupers, the incentive to dope has more to do with narcissism than money, especially when prize money often just about pays for your entry costs. 'Successful' cycling age groupers often are semi retired, or are in careers where they can put in the 15 hours+ per week needed to be at the pointy end of races.

Only have to look at the number of masters and vets cyclists caught doping over the last few years to confirm this.

It seems a bit short, would have thought there would be more…

There are more names missing. It was mentioned previously that some data was lost.
