  • Again I'm somewhat confused you start saying you think he'll be proven innocent. Then suggest at the end he'll receive punishment.

    Simply, do you think he'll get a ban?

    No, I think he probably is innocent. That doesn't alter my opinion that he will probably be found guilty, because the process is much easier for the prosecution than it is for the defence. It will be a miscarriage of justice, but sporting regulation is full of those and everybody who plays the game must accept it. Foot faults, offsides, knock-ons and LBWs are called or missed, the game goes on, and a microscopic examination of 10 different slow motion videos in the following days shows that the umpire/referee was wrong.

    In the case of doping, the scales are deliberately tilted because we have decided that it is more important that no guilty athlete goes unpunished than that no innocent athlete does.

  • Thanks I wasn't trying to be a pain, so sorry if I was.
    I entirely agree with you and that's why I said a few pages back that he's in a real spot of bother.
