The phase diagram of a model describing doped CuGeO$_3$ is derived. The model emphasizes the role of local moments released by the impurities and randomly distributed inside the gaped singlet background. The phase diagram is investigated by two methods: (i) in a mean field treatment of the interchain coupling and (ii) in a real space decimation procedure in a two dimensional model of randomly distributed moments. Both methods lead to similar results, in a qualitative agreement with experiments. In particular, a transition to an inhomogeneous N\'eel phase is obtained for arbitrary small doping. From the decimation procedure, we interpret this phase at very low doping as a {\sl Griffith antiferromagnet}. Namely, it does not have a true long range order down to zero temperature. Nonetheless, large magnetically ordered clusters appear already at relatively high temperatures. This demonstrates the role of disorder in the theoretical description of doping in CuGeO$_3$. A detailed comparison with other approaches is also given.
