was chatting about this to a mate the other day who was of the opinion that 'it's all in the past, what's the point in muckraking, doesn't solve anything'
The biggest issue for me is that if we are to attempt to move away from systemic doping across professional cycling then any incentive to dope should be minimised
Do nothing and there's a huge financial and professional incentive to dope - look, I can get away with it and wind 7 TDF's and make a pot of cash and gain huge international profile
If Armstrong is convicted and his titles stripped of him then that's a massive incentive not to dope - My actions can come back and bite me on the arse and however clever I am with masking agents or micro dosing then there is the potential that tests will be developed down the line that will expose that
I really can't see how and monies raised by Armstrong for his good causes absolves him from any guilt or testing
