An amateur cyclist, who competed against professionals in Belgium, described injecting performance enhancing drugs. He said : "I know from within my team it was quite common. It was just the way it worked, it's what was done. "I was in a whole world of trying to be a better cyclist. "All the choices I was making in my life were about trying to be faster. I would do anything to be faster." A report by UK Anti- Doping says doping at every level of sport is "fast becoming a crisis".
