from someone who may be keith brantly:
Mine is probably a broader comment for the subject of this article, but I have a riddle to ask. What’s the difference between Tyson Gay, Mary Akor, Lilya Shobukhova, Lance Armstrong and Bernie Madoff? Answer? Nothing, there’s no difference. All used known banned techniques or practices to enhance performance or the perception of performance with the intent to defraud for personal or financial gain. So why is it that only one person in this group is serving time in a Federal Prison? Everyone in the aforementioned group crossed State and International borders with the intention to defraud investors.
I believe until we start holding everyone, from the age-group competitor up the owners of major sports franchises (who by commission or omission benefit from their player’s use of PED’s), criminally responsible for illegal PED use, organizations like the USATF will continue to determine who has “paid their dues.”
