Four years ago, I dared suggest that the economics of pro-cycling made it extremely unlikely that Lance was completely innocent.
This provoked an angry clamor of Slowtwitch responses. (And no support.)
"How dare I suggest such a thing!!!"
How many passionate Colom haters, were once Lance worshippers?
Yes- This discussion is worth having.
Yes- Coloms past is worth noting when considering his current performances. (2nd and 3rd might especially want to know.)
Yet where does all the vitriol come from?
Who amongst us would behave differently, if placed in Coloms shoes?
If you are certain "you would never do such a thing," I am certain you cannot be trusted. You are actually much more likely than the rest of us to cheat.
Integretity is built on honesty and realism.
Not because we were born more moral than these lesser people.
This does not argue against a robust anti-drug policy.
Quite the contrary. Since we could all be cheaters, if put in the wrong wrong context, it is especially important that steps be taken to prevent this from happening.
This has little to do with Colom, however.
