===Attitude to doping===
Obree said of his short professional career:

:"I still feel I was robbed of part of my career. I was signed up to ride in the prologue of the Tour back in 1995, but it was made very obvious to me I would have to take drugs. I said no, no way, and I was sacked by my team. So there I was, 11 years later, sitting there waiting for the Tour cyclists to come by, and something welled up in me. I feel I was robbed by a lot of these bastards taking drugs. I also hate the way that people think anyone who has ever achieved anything on a bike must have been taking drugs. I was surprised how resentful I felt when I was in Paris. It had obviously been simmering away in there for years. That's something new I'll have to talk to my therapist about."<ref name="Indy06" />

In 1996, he told the magazine ''[[L'Équipe]]'':

:"In my opinion, 99 percent of riders at elite level take [[Erythropoietin|EPO]] or a similar drug, not particularly to dope themselves but to be at the same level as the others. And that's rather sad."<ref>L'Equipe Magazine, France 19 October 1996</ref><ref group="n">"A mon avis, 99% des coureurs de l'élite prennent aujourd'hui de l'EPO ou une drogue similaire. Pas forcément pour se doper, mais pour être au même niveau que les autres. Et c'est plutôt navrant."</ref>
