27. Why should I hate the scapegoat...

Wed Jan 16, 2013, 06:22 PM

Jan 2013

Lance isn't the problem. The problem is the culture that he was in. Lots of dopers, they should try to get more of them, but they won't. It's funny that the people trying to get Lance relied on the word of admitted dopers. The outrage shouldn't be did he dope. But what kind of system supported his doping.

Also how does this square with the legalization of most drugs? If this was legal how big a deal would it be? I think it's unhealthy so I would't advise anyone to do it. But, if they do it they shouldn't be demonized. Change the culture and there will be less doping.
