LANCE! WOW

<< < (3/3)

Chris Ⓐ LeRoux:
Fraud is a crime, but not if its in response to aggression and-or coercion. For instance, lying to the government on the income tax forms, which clearly violates the 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination, is self-defense. Government initiated the violence in sport by giving anti-trust exemptions, non-profit status, judicial protection for NFL, NCAA, NBA and USOC monopolies, etc. If a truly private sporting agency wanted to do drug testing, that would be moral and cheating-lying to defeat it would be fraud. But the Olympics are a state-enforced monopoly.

TheOneAndOnly:
Lance is still a champion, hands down.  Wasn't there some stat saying if they gave his medal to the closest finisher who hasn't tested positive, it would have been 30th place or something?  It was an even playing field and he won, plain and simple.


This is like the drug war in the States and abroad.  It is failing, just like their testing.
