I agree that it should be based on the type of drug detected. If it's something that has no legitimate medical explanation, such as steroids, a harsher punishment is warranted. If somebody "overdoses" on his grandma's cocaine-laced candy or puts too much rash creme in his shorts, maybe a shorter suspension is needed.

I definitely would like to eliminate situations like the one involving Igor Gonzales de Galdeano from last year's TDF, when a set of doctors say his medication was legitimate and within limits while others recommend his suspension.

The question remains, though, how do you punish all the violators without making the sport look like it's full of dopers? I'm tired of all the "sports fans" talking about doping in bike racing while cheering on certain baseball players who are obviously juiced up...
