No dope...I mean, dope.

“David Copperfield still has tricks we never figured out, [but we know] it’s not magic.”

-Colin Cowherd, 8/24/2012, on cheating, suspicion, and getting caught in sports in general and on Lance Armstrong in particular.

I think it’s a conservation law in sports magnified at the professional level. You bust your ass, you work hard, you have success or you cheat, you have success, and your ass gets busted. I also think Lance Armstrong’s defense is that a witch is not a requirement for a witch hunt, and Colin Cowherd is saying people have been accused of and successfully condemned for less, so why should Lance be any different?

Apparently, doping in cycling is extremely common. For instance, the cyclists who came in second and third to Lance were caught doping in the races he won. If everyone is doping, can we just make some error correction on their times and say these would be the times they finished with?
