And isn't the penalty for the track stars you speak of identical to cycling? Except in reality a first offense is ~4 years from the Pro Tour.
I have to agree with HWS here, other sports are just as dirty and the penalty is you get to be the homerun king.

Pretty funny. Although with your logic Armstrong won 7 tours while juicing it up with EPO. You can't have it both ways. So, if you're going to say that Barry is guilty because he is linked to a dope-supplying trainer then you have to say that Lance Armstrong is just as guilty for consulting with known EPO dope supplying doctor Michele Ferrari. After all, Barry's never tested positive. Armstrong hasn't either. Oh wait. I take that back. Armstrong actually did test positive. TWICE! And got off on a technicality. Oops. I guess his penalty for all that EPO usage is 7 Tour victories. Can you say ASTERIK?!
