Re: Saïdi-Sief At Worlds?
I can't believe some of which I am hearing. People believe that a driver under the influence of alcohol with a blatent disregard for others lives should get their liscense back in a few weeks or months? Driving is a 'privilege' in our country, not a right. The same goes for a cheater in our sport. Would it be looked at differently if he cut the marathon course, used a light shot, or hit opponents with a baseball bat? He cheated! He should be lucky and thankful to EVER get a chance again and should never fathom asking for a shortened penalty. I believe in second chances, but it won't necessarily be the same chance. On the karma issue, notice how few of the drug cheats return, without drugs, and find themsleves a far cry from where they left. This issue again sends the message in our sport that drugs and cheating is negotiable.
