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.
Do you think lifetime bans will deter would be dopers? I'm not so sure about that ... Perhaps the main benefit would be preventing a known cheater from returning to the sport?
Unfortunately, I have to agree with Paul about the Excuse Machine.
