Although much of the info was already out there to make what you will of, Secret Race has added a few things and pulled it together well.
The irony of ST's seemingly official stance - 1) that somehow due process and THE biggest endurance sport story of all time's other facets are an either/or scenario - becomes larger by the day.
Not only is the rest of the story ignored on the front page (too little room left, after slamming Tygart before the facts were even known), but the "victim" of the all this unfairness is a) more powerful than the prosecutors (the reverse of why we often need due process); and b) so contemptuous of 'process' himself that he attempts to subvert and corrupt it at every turn - whatever the cost to others, with money, intimidation, breaches of privacy, political interference.
Then with the opportunity to enjoy the right to cross-examine the witnesses, for all the world to see, he chickens out and goes on slandering people.
Defend due process all you like - I do it for a living, often on behalf of people accused of the worst of crimes. The worst. I get it. But an endurance sport publication pretending that there are no other angles to this story up to this point is embarrassing.
To continue to do so, in light of Hamilton's book?
