As usual, Peter speaks with great wisdom.
Fair enough and I agree I've gone a bit overboard. But, here's the thing, in my opinion this never-ending long winded story of every doping cheating doper is part of the problem. It's never enough that the doper is busted, there has to be some long drawn out series of denials, stories, hearings, etc. To me, once the test is failed it's game over, you're out, there is no additional story to be told, no additional spin which excuses the behavior. We have people like Lindsey who want to microanalyze her intent, her feelings, my feelings, pay off narcs, etc.
Part of the process of stopping doping is stopping the endless circus that is currently allowed after you are a proven cheat, this case being yet another prime example.
Stop taking drugs, stop lying, stop cheating - simple concept.
