doping normal in professional cycling

Peter Sloterdijk’s  ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sloterdijk )differentiation between Kyniks and Cynics in his “Critique of Cynical Reason” used to push me towards Hellenistic philosophy the second time about ten years ago.

  "… As you say of yourself, I TOO AM AN EPICUREAN. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us."
