Jessica Hardy has been kicked off the team and should be given some sort of huge suspension, up to and including lifetime. There- that is how I feel, straight out.
HOWEVER- I am upset at the Geek and Paul (becoming a duo in their own right) continue to appear to ignore Lindsey's main point in a patently obtuse and combative manner. He is not arguing that she is not responsible for what she takes into her own body (in the highly unlikely 'contaminated supplement' scenario) nor is he quarreling with her being punished. In a quixotic way he is trying only to say that he is witholding his full moral condemnation pending any PROVEN extenuating circumstances (however unlikely that may be).
Why not move on? Geek, you are venturing into the ionosphere and quite frankly, you can do better than that.
Sorry Peter but I feel very strongly that in general our society is to quick to give a pass, forgive, forget, make excuses and just simply not punish liars and cheaters...it seems everywhere I turn more and more people are looking to cut corners, screw people over and basically be selfish. There needs to be enough shame and harsh enough punishments for bad behavior to make people think a little bit harder before they engage in it.
There I go....riding Geek's coat tails again.
