I say GOOD! The sooner the international sport community learns that with all the money and noteriety at stake in international competition that it is impossbile to compete competitively as a world class athlete without performance enhancing substances the better.
The issue is not that he used, but that he got caught.
Oh, and Lance used EPO. Get over it.
And don't give me that nonsense about rules are rules and you have to follow them since you put yourself under the authority of the governing federation. The reality is to compete at the highest level, you have to subject yourself to the governing federations. Pro BB have to subject themselves to the IFBB, baseball players to MLB and football players to the NFL. To play, you have to be under "their flag," but how can you follow rules when the rewards offered are so great and the guy next to you is using every advantage to secure them for himself. What, are you not supposed to do the same thing...or are you to play with one hand tied behind your back - figuratively? (The exception being sports that have designated classes for tested and non tested athletes, ie. NPC vs. OCB). All I know is that people who defy the authority for a just cause are called patriots. GO GUYS!
