Abstract

Millennials or Generation Y is the generation related to people who were born between 1982 and 2002 and it replaces Generation X (people who were born between 1960 and 1981). In sport, and specifically in cycling, Millennials promote "Philosophy 2.0". This philosophy applies "Cyclist 2.0" as an athlete who respects with conviction the Word Anti-Doping Code. Related to the object of this study, 34 Spanish cyclists Generation Y, (16 male and 18 female; 19 +/- 6,55 years) took part in this study. Semi structured interviews were conducted. A cycling doping analysis was carried out using 8 different categories that provided information about Spanish "Cyclist 2.0". To achieve this, different social frames were used in order to analyse and code the transcriptions. The analysis used Word and Excel 2007 and QSR NVivo 10 for Windows. The descriptive analysis of the 8 categories showed that " Cyclist 2.0" was prone to be in a new and clean cycling regime. However, there was an imbalance among doping deterrents. This imbalance was detected in previous generations to Generation Y. This fact makes doping, and its scandals, breaking news and they haven't reached a final solution yet.
