Psychology of doping denials?
"Darrell Criswell" wrote in message
... I am continually amazed at pro cyclists who repeatedly fail doping tests (Tyler Hamilton is the most recent one) and totally deny what are almost unrefutable facts, and try to act as if they were the person wronged. Hamilton has tried to go on as normal after failing three blood doping tests. While true there is still some pretty serious questions about the testing procedures that they were using. Personally if the tests are reliable I don't care if Tyler WAS blood doping, he should not be framed by faulty procedures. If I tested positive on three breath tests for DUI most people would accept that I had been drinking while driving. True but then the tests have very extensive testing procedures performed before the tests were approved to be used in courts. What makes Tyler act so innocent when the objective evidence indicates he is guilty, and he knows that he is guilty. We go back to the fact that he was informed that some of his blood tests were showing "questionable" as far back as LBL. If that's the case either Hamilton is the world's biggest idiot OR he's the innocent person he proclaims himself to be. Of course there is always a one in a multi-million chance that the methodology is flawed or he gives an anomalous result, but the chance of that is close to zero. You mean one in a million chances that a test that was only tested on a few hundred KNOWN POSITIVES and NO CONTROLS is that reliable? I'm opting for the world's biggest idiot myself but am flexible enough to wait for the results without reaching hard conclusions like you appear to be doing with about as much real information as you do on weather conditions on Titan. |
