First offense lifetime ban for dopers is needed now....!!

The time is now for the UCI to implement a lifetime ban for any rider
that has tested positive. Pro cycling is losing a lot of major
sponsors and we cannot afford to let this go on. Coca Cola many other
companies have dropped their sponsorships Discovery is stil having
problems finding a new sponsor.

A first use lifetime ban will show that cycling is commited to
cleansing the sport of the cheats.

Easy screening - anyone applying for a pro license is automatically banned.

That's some catch, that Catch-22.

You're right on part of it'll be symbolic but not effective in dealing
with the actual problem.

How about a first offense lifetime ban for any journalist who writes a
story about doping in cycling... that would solve the problem.

What it will do is to instantly end a riders career if decides to
dope. It will also put a end to repeat offenders. When one considers
how much cheats have damaged the sport it is simply ridiculous to put
up with them. In the end it may not be 100% effective, but it deter
most of them hopefully.

I don't have that much faith in labs or the people who run them or
work in them, or in "prosecuting" officials.

We need different rules. --D-y

Hope away. Blame for killing the sport rests on fans with attitudes
like yours and journalists who cater to that attitude. In fact
virtually all the riders who are doping wish they didn't have to...
but they have to because the dope works, and the system is unable to
tell if someone is doping or not via testing. What would you do in
that situation... dope or settle for being pack fodder? So sure... ban
them all for life... that will save the sport.
