So, I’ve been fuming for going on two weeks now, ever since Floyd popped positive. Which is why I was thrilled to read the following:
What we really need is a Doping Control system in which the world can believe and trust. … (Doping) not only cheats other athletes, but also promotors, sponsors and the general public. Being caught in possession of performance enhancing drugs should carry a penalty.
Paula Radcliffe gets it.
*** Edit: Or at least claims to. Man, that’s the whole, crappy thing about doping – How do I really know that she’s not on the sauce, and just has a really, really good doctor? Stupid cynicism. I choose to believe. I choose to believe…

I was so glad you added that edit, because I was feeling alone in being just a tad cynical as I was reading that.
