This is typical boolshit. The tendency is to treat the athletes with kid gloves and to go after the managers and coaches. [censored] Pound is even proposing that coaches be sanctioned when their athletes test positive. Can we have some accountability here ? Certainly coaches that dope their athletes without consent should be punished, but that's not often the case as we are finding out. The athletes put on a babe in the woods act, when they are quite aware of the substances they are abusing.
Roussel, Voet. Mrs. Rumsas did time, while everyone was torn up about poor Zulle having to spend a night in jail. Voet and Roussel were kicked out of their careers, while the athletes themselves are back in the sport. Guys like Neil Stephens claimed ignorance (every other rider from the '98 Festina Tour team admitted to doping) and he's now loved and respected as an Australian coach.
