Interesting - so, you are not interested in debating the merits, but pick the side of the accused, theres a term for that.... also, are you planning on branching out to other 'accused' like poor poisoned Frank and people who merely consumed tarnished steak?
I'm certainly interested in the merits of issues, but the normal "yah boo sucks" type debate here doesn't really help me get to the bottom of anything. So a different approach is required sometimes.
Eventually, someone might actually explain why a pursuiter of Wiggo's class can't perform in a GT instead of simply saying "It's not possible". If it's genuinely impossible then fine, but let's have a bit of objective discussion of the subject...
Why would I defend Berto or Franck? They've both failed tests, and the chances of this happening accidentally are slimmer than very slim.
Defending Wiggo is much more entertaining as there's no positive test and performance levels are not super-human. Thus, the evidence against his is necessarily subjective and prime fodder for a bit of cut and thrust.
The internet is primarily entertainment, even The Clinic @ Cycling News. Every so often, it procides some useful information. If I wanted real philosophy or proper debates, I wouldn't come here.
