That your employer can still take your job away after all those years?
There needs to be a time limitation on these things, or a vendetta can be the result, as we've seen in this case...
How about 2009? How about 2005?
I'm trying to follow your thought. Fifteen years ago was 1997. Is this case only about 1997? Is it at all about 1997?
How long is too long for USADA to prepare this case? When did they start -- I'm curious? I do know it was delayed until after the Federal investigation that was shut down without much explanation.
And what is the connection between a time limitation and a vendetta anyway? Do vendettas only start after fifteen years -- why would a lack of time limitations result in a vendetta?
We'd like to hear the evidence that USADA has. If they've had the evidence for years and sat on it, that's one thing. If there is critical, fresh evidence that has arisen in the last couple of years, that's something else.
