1) It has nothing to do with me being lazy since I'm not the one making accusations. The onus is on you, since you're the one making the claim he had "multiple positives".
2) I will "shoot the messenger" when one claims gossip to be fact. That would be like me accusing you of taking steroids but you're the one who has to prove me wrong.
3) Did you read the article that you're using as a source? The whole story is based upon another newspaper (L'Equipe) article.

My point is, if you're going to make claims, better be ready to back it up with credible and direct sources. Otherwise, you're spreading gossip, which is completely irresponsible, and you should expect some backlash. Rather than resort to name calling and acting like I took your favorite toy, you could have easily posted court documents or named sources with direct involvement in the investigation.

If that were the case and it did prove he had "multiple positives", I would have gladly conceeded your point.
