basically says the IOC created WADA to save face and that at the end of the day, WADA/IOC would cover up child r4pe if it meant looking good.
says they dont really care about fixing doping in sport, only taking down a guy or two every so often to make it look like sport is clean and they are doing their jobs. they'd rather take down and demonize lance as an isolated case than tackle the systemic doping incentives and culture.
not all of this applies to moto, obviously, but it's refreshing to hear an informed opinion outside the standard narrative that WADA is above board and principally concerned about clean sport.

if Fred Landis said the sky was blue, I would go look for myself.

Brilliant documentary on doping and the what can be covered up.
If you get caught on the highway at 80.02mph and the ticket is $1.000.000 anyway, at least get caught at 200mph and make $2.000.000 more before instead.
That is really pityfull to see this system is actually encouraging real doping whereas they are supposed to make the sports clean.
Having no scale of punishment and the potential choices resulting this is really something that must be brought up to them.
He and lance got thru tests because of lance . When he switched teams lance turned him in.
Same to tyler.
I figure broc pissed someone off and he got screwed.
- charge you as much as possible to be upfront and possibly win multiple races in 250SX
- do not dope during the nationals or play the injury card / nagging injury that need to be fixed
- then, if it works out with a couple SX titles (and $, but forced to move up),
- you land a factory ride (and still big $) and just say the 450 class is tough.
Obviously the results outdoor and the results in 450 will be much lower than your riding, but any rider that can win 250 SX are making good money.
That is why no scale of punishment is very dangerous for the sport and the rider's safety, as a rider that is highly charged can be dangerous for themselves and for others, bad for their long term health of course, but also, as it looks like only money talks, bad for the factories as they can believe they sign a prodigy whereas it is far from reality.
