cycling seems to always be mired in scandal. why is this the case?

  Because prestige is given to winners. There's nothing special about cycling.

  It's had its troubles, but there does also seem to be a tendency for the media to focus on it. Look at FIFA in soccer - it's completely rotten - and yet we're back to 'those cyclists...'. Also: if you consider the money in cycling, which is pretty modest, compared with soccer or US sports... you're delusional if you think that cycling is dirtier.

  If other sports , like football/soccer were under the same surveillance as cycling, the results probably would be similar, but it's easier to go on the same people.
