Rational thinking?

<Despite a string of recent confessions from prominent riders --
including 1996 Tour de France winner Bjarne Riis -- UCI anti-doping
manager Anne Gripper said she doubts more confessions will come unless
the cyclists are sure they won't be punished.>

Well, put a woman in charge (sarcasm off)-- experience in dealing with
children, perhaps?

<The UCI received several suggestions for an amnesty and will consider
the option next week, Gripper told Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende
in Friday editions.>

"Maybe we can sink a few more careers while we screw around with
this"?

<"To create a new future, you have to admit the past and learn from
it.">

"Dealing With Children", Pt. Deux

< Only that way we can move on in a 'clean way,"' Gripper said. "We
hope that the latest statements from Germany and Denmark will be
followed by other riders from other countries. Let us be open about
the past and confess what needs to be confessed."

Gripper could not be reached Friday. UCI spokesman Enrico Carpani said
the Swiss-based body may consider an amnesty, but that "we need some
time to decide.">

A cyclone of fresh air blows through cycling. Quick, everybody take a
nice, long breath or two. Whew! Smells good! --D-y

Nice to see, even the possibility of, a pause in the insanity and some
rational thought. I hope the UCI does it and ignores the screams and
slander that'll come from Pound on this.
That would be the first step in creating a reasonable environment
surrounding this whole mess. Now the riders need to form a real union,
support each other, and force the UCI and Wada to treat them like
human beings.

dumbass,

you are obsessed with [censored] pound.

maybe you should stop looking for a scapegoat for cycling's
problems ?

there is some (but not a lot of) merit to the idea that pound's
attitude created the climate that led to the LNDD mess, but even that
is a stretch.

[censored] pound didn't make the telekom riders dope and then admit it this
past week and he didn't bust festina or the madrid lab.

As long as amnesty extends to those who say nothing.

A second breeze, sweet as morning after a stormy night.

Next: Enforceable rules? IOW, "Don't outlaw what you can't test for"?

Now there would be something even better than Omerta! (opinion) --D-y

Not just Pound. I have problems in general with dictatorial,
egomaniacal, [censored] who only choose to persecute the weakest. He's
still looking for those FIFA names in Puerto, and any sign of
wrongdoing in the IOC that he couldn't find, right?
