i think the point ed is really trying to make is that what USADA has ultimately done in this decision is remove faith in their system and application of rules. sure, lisa may only "deserve" what she received, but i think less of USADA for not strictly applying the rules throughout their case load.
if lisa had been served with the stated ruling for her case, the outcome at Cozumel would be just one example of how much USADA can matter.
Precedent by other AD bodies, reasonable expectation of universal and fair treatment (from a tax payer funded body), possible blue print or “plausible deniability” for use by others (ie she got away with it)
These are my concerns and how it affects the credibility of USADA. In Canada we arenÂ’t perfect either.
(Not a lawyer so uncertain if the term “plausible deniability” is the correct one to use here)
