Default Lance – The real scandal

It seems to me that the real scandal is not that Lance doped but that
none of the leaders of WADA, UCI or any other organization involved in
racing and dope control has resigned in disgrace. These people had to
know. If fact some took some pretty suspicious payments. Yet all we
hear from them are self serving statements about what a terrible thing
Lance did. And the press is no better they make it sound like Lance
was beating up on a bunch of innocents like Pantani, Ulrich, Basso…
Why is Riis still listed as a winner? He has admitted to doping too.


resign in disgrace ie comfortably retire

cannot assume guilt and complicity in order to proceede with
appropiate penalty, but the extremely slow pace of investigation
mirrors that of death camp nazi guards

what is the importance of prosecuting complicity in sporting fraud
compared to other criminal activities ?

put it context, bike racing is an entertainment~ are you upset the
great wizard of oz was just a funny little man operating some levers
behind the curtain ? theres more important things in this world that
deserves attention
