(11,464 posts)a winner should be able to do so without cheating/doping, doing wrong
and it will take ALL to be stripped, so that they see it is not worthwhile to cheat
then the "well everyone does it, so I gotta do it" will see they are going to get caught, and then the race will be clean.
(much like cops who abuse, with all looking guilty til the last bad one is cleared out, then all can be looked at as good.)
What better purpose than for the pre-teens imagining they are a champ riding their bikes through their streets thinking they can, without doping, become a champ.
What really is more important than that?
(apply the same rationale to do nothing to Penn State and Jerry Sanduski and Joe"Win at all cost, and shut the f up about anything that doesn't bring in millions to the team" Paterno)
Cleaning up starts somewhere. And make sure to do it top-down, with the coaches and money people on top, so that the "athelete" is not told they need to go the 2% difference or not be allowed to try.
