Re: Les Earnest article re: USAC [monty]
Monty,

it seems from the article that Les is/was/imagines himself as a Dan Empfield reformer type (but without the savvy or relationship skills - my impression). Les is saying that USAC has been dirty from the beginning, and many of the people who built their successes off of the doping at the 1984 Games are still around today.

I know your orbit was a bit different as a pro triathlete, but any insight to add to the time period?

This perspective to me makes me see Armstrong in a more sympathetic light... he was the horse that came along that all of the "adults" rode to success. Reminds me of AAU, amateur athletics in the USA in general, the NCAA, etc.

Seems like dirty old white men have been mucking around in sports since Greek times. Power politics... the original / ultimate sport.

thx,
Eric
