OK if you are going to throw me and others under the bus, at least use my name correctly. Secondly why do I need to mention Betsy or any other person he threw under the bus. My beef is not with the riders, it is with the people who run the sport. Put the riders in a tight enough box and they will play inside it. Give them a free for all playing field and you'll get exactly what we got in cycling and we continue to get in Premier League, NFL and a variety of other leagues. Yeah, I get, it, they are all scum, just like Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire, but MLB just watched the doped home run derby and went "cha ching" to the bank as did ASO/UCI during the height of the EPO era.
In any case, please try to use logical statements and attack the text or the ideas we post, but don't personally attack people. If you use blanket statements calling people scum, you may find your user account disabled. It is OK to say what people type is stupid, illogical, or non factual. That's OK. Personal attacks on people have tended to get people banned around here. I've been around triathlon for 30+ years and on this ST community for 10+ years...guys who behave like you come and go. We'll be around talking tri long after that.
