Pound calls out cycling officials

The chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency had some harsh words for
the cycling world Sunday, urging authorities of the sport to take
tougher action against doping.
WADA chairman Dick Pound says the image of cycling and the Tour de
France is "in the toilet." (Canadian Press) Dick Pound said the image
of cycling and the Tour de France is "in the toilet."
"You've got to do something about it or the risk is that your sport
will be ignored by everybody, marginalized by others, and it won't be a
sport any more," he added.
How about this asshole actually challenges FIFA. They are asking for a
report in a week or two, after the finals.
Maybe we can have summary executions based on Pound's objective
judgement. Once again we have the Judge yelling, "They're all guilty!
They wouldn't be charged if they weren't! If they're in my court
they're going down! Innocents don't come here!"
Damn good thing this psycho, Jr. Grade Emporer can't give the death
penalty.
Let's see, J. Edgar Hoover, Torquemada, and Pound.
Great Icons in the history of justice!

Also in the same article:
Last November, Pound made headlines when he slammed the National Hockey
League's drug policy. At the time, he stated as many as a third of the NHL's
700 players may be taking some kind of performance-enhancing drug. Also, the
IOC has called for an independent inquiry to help resolve the feud between
cycling star Lance Armstrong and Pound. In mid-June, Armstrong's eight-page
letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge sharply criticized Pound for trying to
keep alive the doping allegations against the seven-time Tour de France
champion.
Three questions come to mind:
1. Will Armstrong take the IOC up on it's offer to set up an independent
investigation?
2. Will Armstrong visit the Tour this year?
3. If he does visit, will he answer any questions from Paul Kimmage or David
Walsh?
