Does it matter, how does a retired athlete remain on the payroll? Cutting ties was the logical thing to do regardless if he was convicted or not.
Lets strip him of the titles, sure, but everyone in those Tour De France races know who won them and so does everyone that watched them. There is not a single reason why doping is illegal, if you don't want to dope then don't, there are plenty of examples in sports where a clean athlete has proven he is just as good as the dirty ones.
Its always someone like the Letsrun witch hunting lynch mob that is all about catching dopers and labeling everything dirty, posting the doping allegations in large bold text and then posting REAL running news in small barely noticeable print underneath.
I'm so tired of the hypocritical sentiments of the writers. You've spent so much time trying to hassle major sponsors to attack their "doped" athletes that you produced 4 shirts that look like a 2nd grader designed them.
There is a reason the sport is a back burner to literally any other sport in the world and that's because everyone involved in it has a fantasy with everyone being dirty. 50% of letsrun could have probably made it to the next level of competitive running had they been more focused on their own training rather than trying to alienation everyone around them for doping.
This is why Wejo didn't make the Olympics
Why Rojo couldn't produce a competitive NCAA squad
Why non of the employees can construct a good article themselves and rarely find a decent one written by someone else.
