It's hard to stay clean after losing superdoc consultations, it seems.

Totally believable, right?
Women are sensitive about these things.

Fabricated embarassing admissions (it was for a nasty saddle rash) are a great way to come across believable. Everyone understands embarrassing reasons for breaking into your own home, running across the street nude, etc?

Didn't work for Tyler Hamilton the last time, now did it? He didn't even fabricate his personal reasons.

What are the odds her getting a proper ban, and there not being any lengthy appeals and CAS involvements?
