Does triathlon use the passport system? If not, doesn't this mean that testing is totally worthless?

It's not a matter of resources; it's a matter of finding the will to change the established order and take the relatively modest steps necessary to make a very substantial impact on AG PED use.

But it is about the resources. A doping program that has no teeth doesnt matter. IE, look at our program now.

Very nice. Also, knowing what they know and who did what and what type of people are still in this sport and to not come clean without someone pressuring you??!! Christian, who uses Phinney as an example of the next generation that needs this cleansing was in RadioShack's feeder team!!

Looking at the news, I love wiggins' response as told to Sky Sports news. He didn't say,
'it is jaw-dropping the amount of drugs lance pumped into himself and his team.'

No, the size of the usps doping machine wasn't amazing to him (gee, I wonder why?). But instead he says,
'It is jaw-dropping the amount of people who have testified against him.'

Can wiggins be more transparent? I think not.

So...what exactly are you trying to imply?

If.....you a proven doper, because you confessed, you should be suspended immediately....but instead of being suspended you are allowed to continue riding as if nothing happened...you are taking a position on a team/or a race start away from someone that is clean....adversely affecting that clean rider. How do you think the rookie rider feels that was denied a start in the Tour because one of these riders took a team spot.....that rookie might never get another chance, he may have been a contender someday, but the USADA took that day away....Its a professional sport, what have you done for us lately mentality for team selection, riders were denied the chance to do something....there were clean, why should the USADA do that to them?...what gave the USADA the right to affect clean riders this way, to have half a season, or more be poisoned by proven dopers ?...they are supposed to keep the sport clean, not assist dopers, and that they did, did G. H. not have "his day", his last race day, to be cheered as a "clean rider" as he crossed the finish, as people celebrated his "great career", which as the USADA knew was based on doping, according to their own documents released today....are you ok with that ?... because I'm not, and I'm sure a lot of people from that day, have a sour taste in their mouth from cheering him home....when he should have been suspended, the evidence was there, from his own mouth, and from others.

I'm not trying to imply anything.

But I think wiggins might be trying to imply something about the omertà ...

Essentially, yes. Most standard testing is remarkably easy to circumvent.

I think it is fair to assume that anyone that was that consumed with doping and lying for that many years would not bring it to an end once they entered triathlon.

I wish I could place a bet that he was doped for his last year of triathlon. That only seems logical. There as no reason for him to stop and he was clearly in contact with the doping doctor.

As a young guy who is pretty involved in cycling, its hard to still look up to a guy surrounded by such controversy. La is really causing a divide amongst so many areas of sport is his presence productive. Those who turn a blind eye for lance are why this sport is impacted so greatly by all this. You wouldn't want your team smoking crack so why is it OK la used drugs to win??? Btw I wouldn't even own a bike if I never heard the name la. I'm drawing the line, he might as well sniff one. Drug free slowness. . . . Doing good does not negate being a liar/cheat, he knows he did wrong.

Look at how many pros did test positive even with lots of help.
