Nicely made point!Francois the Postman said:It felt a bit like FIFA putting the blame for ongoing and match-long malicious tackles from behind that, spoiling the pretty pretty game, at the doorstep of the Uruguay government, clearly failing in their duty to make tackling from behind a criminal offence.
Instead of on the governing body's own doorstep for doing pretty much the only job it exists for. Miserably failing (for decades) to come up with a set of rules that "tackles" the problem head-on, and policing it effectively, creating a policy that actually does have an impact, and get referees to really clamp down the offence in the first place.
Given that they -well- are the only real governing body that is truly relevant, define the playing field, and contract and instruct the arbiters that enforce the rulebook, it is one of the more potty charges that I heard any kettle level.
Irish2009 said:I thought the Spanish Government had passed laws for sporting fraud, much more proactive than the UCI. Remember the UCI dont do "Life Time Bans" as it would restrict riders from making a living (a bit like a criminal conviction). Thats is what Verbruggen said when it was discovered Alex Zulle (remember him) had doped.
