  1. This should put a major kink into booting everyone unless they get
    some blood matches pretty fast:

    CAS ruled that the team of Alexandre Vinokourov will be able to
    participate in the race. Belgian judge Guido de Croock decided the
    matter, basing his sentence on the fact that no official information on
    the team's links to the doping network had yet been revealed.

    Looks like CAS is going for the fair and just approach. Good for them!
    I can see this also being interpreted as a shot across the bow in the
    individual riders cases also.

  2. I think we all knew McQuaid made his statement knowing full-well that
    the CAS would nix this. That way, he gets to appear as being anti-dope,
    and no one gets penalized. Nice strategy!

    CAS took the position that they could not act on press reports. When the
    police file is made public tomorrow, that may change things for a number of
    parties.

    So allegations, without charges being filed, are enough to justly,
    brutally, penalize someone? Where do I sign up to make some against
    people I don't like?
    Worked well for the LAPD a while ago. If they want to file charges and
    hold them in pre-arraignment custody then I'm fine with that.
    Being able to destroy peoples careers on allegations was [censored] when
    McCarthy did it. It was [censored] when we stripped US citizens of their
    jobs and properties during WW2, and it would be [censored] now for
    something that's not even vaguely a threat.
    Just because it has been done, and can be done doesn't make it right!

    No. CAS made the correct decision, IMO. Tomorrow, with the release of the
    Spanish dossier, we'll have a completely different situation.

    How does leaked allegations differ from official allegations? They are
    still allegations with nothing proven.
    I seem to be the flaming liberal around here. That's scary.

    You'd better start training for the next WTO meeting.
