I am not sure I understand your point
Sutton raped a girl under the age of consent. He argued it was consensual (she was 14 he was 27). He has stated he was victim of a violent parent, that she consented etc. She was 14. He was the adult. He had a duty of care and he had sex with her and they pleaded down the charges)
Weiss got done for blood doping. He harmed his competitors
If I doped, I would not be calling out Sutton about his own behaviour
Equally if I was coached by Sutton it would not appear my moral compass extends as far as "advocating moral and ethical behaviour and associating with people that exhibit those traits all the time" rather only when it suits me, and not when the best tri coach in the world is a convicted child molester / rapist, pick your terminology to assuage your conscience
The problem with the virtue signalling crowd; "I called her out on twitter" BS, is that they almost always demonstrate that it's not some sort of underlying values that drive them to do it, but the need to be seen to do it.
On a personal note, IF Weiss did his time (and as I understand it he did not actually fail a test but was banned based upon statements made by other athletes) AND if Sutton did his "time", moved on, works only with adults and has "attoned" I think they should be able to get on with their lives
What drives me mad, is the selective signalling about X = bad, whilst ignoring Y.
I would be interested to know the results of Weiss drug tests
