The new moral standard
"He didn't take forbidden substances in order to win races. It's a
private affair. But Boonen is a great and emblematic champion. He has to behave in an irreproachable way." This is the explanation for ASO's banning of Tom Boonen: http://www.fry.cyclingnews.com/news...jun08/jun12news This is also completely inconsistent with French custom, where people can pretty much do anything they want in their private life, it won't affect them in their profession. For example, Bill Clinton is a hero in France because of the Lewinski affair. -ilan |

Oh wait, the guy's name is Prude-homo. And there's a lot wrong with that. R |
