Ridiculous

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/prud...ntador-hearing

Other than the feds going after a guy for doping with 500+ negative
tests, the fact that we can't even know who won a race a year after it
took place is pretty clear evidence that the current UCI/WADA/CAS dope
testing and appeal process is totally broken. Just do it like NASCAR -
if you're found cheating after the fact, fine the **** out of you but
don't change the ****ing results.

Don't just fine them, penalize the entire team with a time penalty at future
races, like on the Amazing Race. "Detours" would take on an entirely-new
meaning. Maybe at some random point in the race the team has to stop and
solve a puzzle before continuing.

At first, I didn't find your argument very compelling but your final
use of the f-word convinced me. Good job!

How about a true handicap, like in horse racing? Add a little weight
here and there to even things up. Or sails - like a flying squirrel
skinsuit. Maybe they could make them wear a ridiculous anti-
aerodyamic dunce helmet.

At least that would be entertaining and would help reestablish the
sense of fair play and ridicule the dopers, which is how it is
supposed to work.

So we're basically saying that _any_ system from _any_ other sport would
be better than the one used in cycling? Sounds right to me.

I was thinking we could have the dopers (that have been caught) wear a big
scarlet "D" on an armband. Maybe instead of a time penalty, make it weight.
That would actually make sense. On a climbing stage, they get a 3-kilo
penalty. Ouch!

So far I think we've seen "just as bad but more obviously stupid". Or,
maybe not stupider than making rules that can't be evenly and fairly
enforced on the day.
