How do we stop the dopers in our sport?

[Chris Willemse]

1. Suspend them for live.

2. Change our laws and let them get a criminal record.

3. All South African sponsors should get together and sign an agreement that should any rider get caught positive then no team will ever except him back. That will mean no more teams for them and this could also be followed world wide.

 

Lets get your opinion

[Lucky Luke.]

That about sums it up for me, all of the above

[Sheriff]

Agreed , all of the above .

[SwissVan]

Ban them for life into the wilderness

 

Suspend them for life from any sport or sports related job i.e. coaching, TV commentry etc...

[Guest Frail4Life]

We need to Start somewhere!

[rouxtjie]

Add no 4.... stripp ALL titles and payback total earnings while a pro cyclist(winnings and sponsership). Hit them where it hurts.....GELD

[andydude]

Ok, then I'm out. Can I suspend myself?

Well #1 would already include #3 .... you can't sponsor a rider that's not allowed to ride

 

But yes on the above.

[Cav']

Castrate them.

[HappyMartin]

If you are aware that someone is abusing children and you do nothing about it you are guilty of a criminal offense

 

If you are a pro cyclist and you know someone is doping and you do nothing about it you should also be sanctioned

 

Break the code of silence. Make doping uncool.

 

All that was in the first post as well

I think there should be some kind of degree to the punishment.

 

If you take something by accident, incorrect medication and have the ability to prove it - six months suspension.

 

If you take something deliberately - (there is no accidental ingestion of EPO or HGH) - then it is life and all of the above.

 

Intention to cheat is key to a life time ban.

[Peter Parker]

what happens if its not intension, dope by accident.

some banned substance in a flu medication, the poor guy is sick, gets tested out of competition, gets bust, banned for life, for a simple mistake like not checking.

 

damn davem beat me to it. I should type faster.

 

I agree with that.

[massiveboy]

you okes just talk about cyclists, open your eyes and go watch a club rugby match for example.

 

go eat pizza fat boys, let it go, the oke got caught and he will pay, not nice for anyone to be in that position.

Well yes. This is a cycling forum and the question was how do we stop doping in our sport. If this was a rugby forum and the same question was asked we would most likely discuss club rugby but since it isn't we don't

This is a question and suggestion for all sports. It would be very interesting if all sports get tested like cycling . I will assure you all that it will be chaos in most of the sporting codes.
