A Double Standard?
B. Lafferty wrote: Looks that way. http://www.eurosport.com/cycling/tou...to915706.shtml If they'd announced that Jan could ride at the same time they tried to deny everyone else, then I'd say there was a double standard. This announcement was made after they've already been rebuked in their efforts at denying others who've been implicated, but not prosecuted. My guess is they've just decided it wasn't worth the effort to single Jan out at this time, considering they would be denied there as well. |

A Double Standard?
There is a huge difference between a document with a one-word reference
to a *possible* nickname for Ulrich's coach, and an entire team that is quite obviously on a program (with full team ownership/support). C'mon, lets at least give Ulrich a few moments to breathe. B. Lafferty wrote: Looks that way. http://www.eurosport.com/cycling/tou...to915706.shtml |

It's more than a one word reference. You also have his right hand man for the mountains implicated. Nothing has thus far been "proved" that wuld allow the UCI to take disiplinary action against any of them on any of the teams involved. Yet, Communidad is out and the Tour is seeking to have Wurth barred as well. Perhaps Vino is not seen as the contender that Jan is. That's not exactly equal treatment of the teams.

The IOC should just say "Ciao" to cycling and cut us loose. Then
they'll no longer have to worry about Dick Pound (or what Lance Armstrong thinks of Dick Pound). Then the UCI can just deregulate doping, being that "so few" riders test positive anyway. That's what they wish for anyway. Not being involved. B. Lafferty wrote: wrote in message oups.com...

The business of cycling is a bit more complicated than that. |

It's not a double standard - that would imply the riders are on an equal basis. But calculate the number of Germans likely to come to the Tour, buy products of the Tour sponsors and so on. Now compare that to the number of Kazaks likely to. There's a clear difference, by which ASO may make an impartial distinction. Isn't the war on doping grand? Without it, we might not have any moral standards! |
