The only way to drive this point home is to come down hard on every single violation.
For a premier athlete to take a powerful mind-altering drug and not check the code first is grossly negligent."
Wow, compelling and rich. Did you stay up late working on that? lol
I remember heated arguments defending Lance Armstrong, the solid gold all American hero, before he came (partially) clean. Even now plenty here will defend him, with the "they were all at it" line.

Before we start posting bears . . . Its still bullsh-t, the punishment's too long, and the promoters, FIM, and the AMA still suck!
So enlighten me on how this case has helped the sport?

The dumb people will still screw up and not file a TUE.
We've solved nothing and wasted a year of a racers life who probably would've crashed out by midseason anyway. I don't get it. All we've really done is make an expensive sport cost more....
My favorite post in this thread is:

Go on RacerX Instagram or Facebook and see how many people think this is stupid, and the tremendous amount of support there is for James. For now everyone's hands are tied to what the FIM decides, that could change in the future, but not anytime soon. "
Too bad WADA doesn't take direction from the court of public opinion. LOL
Athletes in general are not the smartest people and we don't exactly watch or pay them because of their intelligence.
James is doing the time for his crime, but to say the FIM shouldn't try to improve the process of the appeal etc is dumb. The faster they get these things heard the faster the sport can move on from them. The entire sport had to pay for James crime because the FIM/CAS does not operate in a mannor that fits a sport that races every weekend. this needs to looked at and addressed so these things don't take a god damn year to resolve.
We need a war on nobody making any fucking money.
I do miss James tho.
