You're proving my point about the clinic's reaction.Benotti69 said:Where is the good news? A team loses is licence but no one gets banned? So Nibali and Aru, 2 top riders will find teams and continue. The docs will get work, they won a TdF last year. I dont really see much change. Vino will still be a part of the sport, but like those banned just less in the public eye.
No this is not a victory for anti doping.
Progress can only be made one step at a time. Banning a dirty team and making it stick will be a step forward and create a precedent for the future. The risk-reward balance for doping or for riding alongside dopers has clearly moved.
