New Rule: Anyone accusing an athlete of doping should have to state their real full name

IF you are going to insist on a new rule, you need to use your real name. Otherwise nobody will take you seriously.

The OP is a fool, probably doping.

I'm not the one committing libel. The people who commit libel should do it on the record.

You don’t know what libel means. They maybe be committing libel, or they may not.

OP is doping.

Probably helps to know what libel is. The opinion that given the state of the sport and prior history that an athlete is doping is an opinion, and in all likelihood a very correct one. Libel would be fabricating a claim that you saw so and so engaged in doping.

You are one of the worst offenders. Calling someone a doper isn't an opinion. It is an accusation which causes damage to the athlete's image and reputation. It is libel.

night runs are beautiful, stalkers get a life.

Sorry to be pedantic but that isn't quite correct. Libel is publishing anything that discredits a person in the eyes of "right-thinking (decent folks, not right wing) members of society". There would also have to proof of damage to the reputation of the person libelled. The law takes a very liberal view of this on social media sites. I can't recall the actual provision in US law but it substantially exempts public sites' owners from claims made by those commenting on their sites. I doubt anyone has been sued for making doping allegations on a site like this.

So why hasn't anyone been sued here? It would be easy enough to get an IP address.

My name is Holden Hisscock, and I think Paavo Nurmi was juiced to the gills

You are the worst offender of all. If you're so confident in your accusations, why don't you put your name on them?

He does. His name is Billy Jo Armstronglivs. What is your name?

In law you can't defame the dead.

David Christ can accuse anyone he wants then.

No. It is an educated guess.

Welcome to LRC, is this your first post here?

Rojo got called out by the Kenyan government for his question which was not even an accusation, and look how that ended. I'd gladly accuse SML and Battocletti to their faces if it meant they had to issue me an apology when they got caught

You never say you're making a guess. You state it as a fact.
