It's still a judgement based on what doping code was first 'violated' Merckx to get to a tribunal hearing in the first place is the point. Same as speeding. No anti-doping tribunal is ever started because of an ethical/unethical doping violation but satisfying WADA Prohibited Substances & Methods and is the context which began this discussion and my point re. Freeman, Sky, DCMS, UKAD. You have either illegally violated the code or you haven't, there is no ADRV for legal doping unethically, only the sanction itself can be adjusted with leniency if an ethical point it might not be intentional aka Pettachi.
