Problem is ridicule isn’t based on fact but hearsay.
No matter how dubious someone’s performance, you can’t really judge them without proof.But yes, as the secret pro would say, anyone that is suspected of doping will be talking about and ridden into the gutter.

I meant once it's been proven.
The very fact that UKAD and WADA are being mentioned in relation to amateur racing shows how pathetic it is.
But I agree, until you can prove someone has cheated, the ridicule is a little unfair.

As a mate put it; his performances are without precedent given his age and especially given his level of experience. Very difficult for him to exonerate himself.

Surely, if he was doping, which I have no idea about and don't really care, the biggest punishment is the fact that everyone knows you're doping to win some small-time races that don't really have any significance anyway.
I know that amateurs do dope, but is the fact that everyone thinks they're pathetic losers not punishment enough?
Fair enough they should be banned etc. But I think ridicule is the best response.
