Berzin said:The same program that Andy Schleck was on. So you take the Tour title from one doper and give it to another. Yeah, that's how the war on drugs will be won.
Ok, I lost you. Now you are accusing schleck of being a doper in some kind of double conspiracy with contador in the same program? Sure, whatever makes you feel better.
Berzin said:No he does not. Preferential treatment is the name of the game in all walks of life, as it is at the UCI. Have you not been following along here? Just because you and many others believe that things SHOULD be one way, they are in reality another way.
Did you see how Pat McQuaid tried to keep Contador's test result quiet until the matter was exposed by a German journalist?
Welcome to pro cycling, rotten to the core.
Oh I have been following along, but that doesn't mean it is right. By the way the quick solution the UCI promised has seemed to evaporate, hasn't it?
You yourself have posted many a post preaching morality and ethics. So, how can you honestly make an exception for one doper but not another?
Berzin said:Unlike you I can see the shades of gray that life is lived in. If you can't tell the difference between Armstrong and Contador, it is beyond me why you're even commenting on what I wrote.
Ahh we get to the heart of matters. Exceptions are ok for contador, but not armstrong. Sure that sounds fair.
Berzin said:As for hypocrisy, you've got to be kidding me. The whole stinking process at the UCI is a showcase for hypocrisy. And you suddenly expect the rotten crew that control cycling to suddenly sprout angels' wings and do what's right? My good man you are off by more than just one of you believe this.
I don't expect anything. But that doesn't mean I can't hope. If you allow exceptions to the rules or the process then the system will fail. You are rationalizing letting contador off the hook because the system has failed in the past.
Berzin said:Hey Nostradamus, the Spanish Federation aren't going to give their national cycling hero a two-year ban for a sand grain of clenbutarol. And the UCI won't do a thing about it either.
They tried to give a pass to valverde as well, but he ended up more or less paying his time.
Berzin said:I don't make these crooked rules, but I understand how things work. Don't blame me for that, I have nothing to do with how the UCI navigates it's pirate ship.
That is not the kind of attitude that will help the fight against doping and you yourself are a preacher of that fight, but clearly you are having a hard time swallowing your own medicine.
Quit rationalizing giving contador a pass because you are a fan boy.
