sponsor awarded doping damages

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...7news&from=rss

A court in Fulda, Germany awarded 100,000 euros in damages to
Förstina, a beverage producer which cancelled an advertising campaign
based around Sinkewitz after his doping positive was revealed.

The company began its advertising contract with Sinkewitz in 2004, but
argued that it had "invested money in someone who claimed to ride
clean", but that the rider failed to live up to that image.

a very appropiate way for sponsors to deal with cheats, should go a
long way towards helping clean up the sport

I'm surprised it's not already included in the standard contract
language.

Yeah- you'd have to think twice about doping if it meant losing
everything. About the only thing you could do is spend all the money
on a bunch of stuff and then claim the stuff was stolen... Hmmnnn....
