Very interesting! So if many people think they are so bad why does any REAL group trust them?? Just a group of head hunters out to make a name for themselves is what I think!!

The fundamental unfairness of the WADA / USADA procedures casts doubt on their findings. www.latimes.com/.../la-fi-hiltzik-20120825,0,2080853.column I also find it interesting to have a business columnist weigh in on the system.

I hope the attention will serve as exposure to a potentially underestimated problem in the event, not how one man soley victoriously cheated out his competition for a decade.

How can they have any jurisdiction over the TDF? Apparently as signatories of the World Anti-Doping Code, organizations like the ICU are obliged to honor sanctions imposed by USADA.

Whatever the outcome, he walked away without saying much which leaves a degree of reasonable doubt. The yellow bracelets did much good at the end of the day. And according to that article he's still a brand name worth backing. why can't FINA or the olympic committee use underwater video footage or the athlete's own admission to catch, DQ & strip admitted cheaters of their medals like CVDB, even after the fact? They should. Is it cheating only if you get caught? The mens 100M breatstroke gold medalist thinks so.

It would appear that their efforts were very productive in this case. I don't recall this kind of response when Marion Jones was sanctioned. And she had never failed a drug test either.

It just feels like a kick in the groin to watch the man exit like that. Yeah, like Eddie Mercks was free of dope

Being "A non-profit, non-governmental agency" does not exclude USADA for being a counterproductive buerocratic entity defying their very own mission statement.
