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.
Seriously. What doper says, 'if I get caught, it's only some bad publicity and a two year ban...totally worth the risk'? Somehow I just don't think any of them really consider the consequences, and probably assume they will never get caught.
