You fault people for the manner in which they communicate and then defend Greg's lack of communications skills and tact. Do you not consider this to be a bit hypocritical?

Greg's got a point. But, he's going about making a meaningful impact all wrong. From the day he started loosing, he's been pointing fingers, blaming drugs and the governing bodies. If he were to quieting make alliegences with those within the sport and assist them, instead of attacking them, he could prossibly be an excellent spokesman. However, that's never really been his pattern, instead he attacks everyone and in the process alienates himself and causes them to become defensive. The large hurdle that he would probably have to overcome if he were to attempt to work from within the sport, is his enduring alltruistic approach. The governing bodies are as concerned with limiting the damage that drugs can do to the sport's image and maintaining a reasonably level playing field, as they are actually elliminating them all together. Part of maturity is the ability to recognize what you can change and what you can not, endevouring to change what you can and learning to deal with what you can not. Greg seems to be missing this key trait. I lot of us would love to support his cause, if he could learn to quit being such a jerk.

Think about how many positives there have been over the last three tours as the consequences of AFLD testing. Now compare that with this years UCI led testing. Do you really think the field changed their approach so dramatically?
