Doping

Elsbeth Tascioni

Just watched last Sunday's episode of The Good Wife - Je Ne Sais What? which revolved around an athlete being maliciously charged with doping, and then yesterday we have a real life episode of a person finally admitting doping after years of rumors and accusations. A coincidence? Yes, probably, that's what I think too.
    I totally believed Lance was innocent of the charges against him. I mean if he was as guilty as his accusers said you would think they would have been able to prove it. Of course, "proof" can be pretty iffy. Any time there is big money involved there is liable to be corruption. Not too long ago there was the whole Olympic siting scandal. This episode of The Good Wife played up the corrupt European angle, including the corrupt official and the kangaroo court rules, er, guidelines. Well, they are rules when we say they are rules and guidelines when we say they are guidelines. Weaselly Europeans.
