The system is set up fine, hold that athlete accountable for their actions. Instead you propose giving money to dope narcs? WTH? Yeah, that won't bring out the crazies.
Given the number of injustices involved with plea bargains, paid informants, the reliability of people involved in doping as witnesses, etc., you are probably right that rewards for people who turn in dopers would not be a great idea.
I would still like to see the law ask JH where she got her drugs so that she would be faced with possible prosecution if she lied. Failing that, USADA or WADA ought to have a regulation that says if you impede their investigation by lying, and it is proven that you did, you will get an automatic lifetime ban. But then I would support a lifetime ban for any doping that can't be shown to be inadvertent (ala cold meds or trace amounts of non-PED, etc.).
Matt: as I suspected we are in basic agreement, I'll be interested to see if Geek will address the Kicker V case.
