Dopey

I have had an epiphany.

When the word "doping" comes up, most people connect that to an athlete using chemical/pharmaceutical means to cheat, but I've come to the conclusion that "doping" means dealing with the USADA/WADA...they're the biggest dopes around.

I've been following the Floyd Landis case/details over at the Daily Peloton forums, and it is quite apparent that the the powers that be are more than happy to bankrupt Floyd to get their win. Now, there are many who consider Floyd to be guilty, and if he gets off it'll be on a technicality. Which is a shame for Floyd, as his reputation is essentially trashed. Now, if you're one of the ones who thinks that Floyd is guilty, then perhaps more concrete proof of the USADA's inane tactics can come from Jason Sager. Jason has been suspended for missing a post race test...which was the fault of the USADA personnel on site.
Since I feel that Floyd is in fact innocent, it is my opinion that both Floyd and Jason (and others) are victims of a deeply flawed system...a system that while created for a noble cause, is not interested in the athletes. They (USADA/WADA) are operating under the credo that "if you've not been sanctioned by us, then you just haven't been caught yet".

It's a load of crap!

My biggest hope is that Floyd wins and it brings to light the flaws in the anti-doping authorities' modus operandi.
