I got an email last week from a reporter from the Atlantic. He wants to do a story on a repentant doper. I could't think of a single distance runner off the top of my head who said, "Yeah I did it and I'm sorry." Did Cathal Lombard repent?


I'd be far more interested in someone who admits having doped despite *not* getting caught, even if it's years after his or her competitive career has ended. It's a sad state of affairs when the good guys, or at least the rare cases, are the people with the "guts" to admit the obvious after years of cheating and finally submitting some dirty piss. And where financial restitution is for whatever reason unlikely or not feasible, these truly repentant folks ought to consider some in-sport community service, and I don't mean going from school to school telling kids "drugs are bad, m'kay?" like Mr. Mackey, but volunteering their time and expertise in ways it could make a difference, like volunteer coaching in underserved areas and so on.
