    Welcome to another ugly reality of drugs in sports.
    In complying, Kevin Van Impe showed he was a professional athlete.
    In demanding, the un-named showed he was a professional drug tester.

    That's as bad or maybe even worse than the time they
    barged into Lance's home even before he had time to
    read that morning's Austin American-Statesman
    newspaper and demand an out of season sample.

    OK - someone has to face reality. It's the riders' fault, collectively.

    To think that they take all this, with the enormous wealth of European (not
    Swiss) law available to them to stop this idiocy. Until individuals and
    groups of them come into the light, demanding to be treated almost as
    citizens, they will not have a hand in their own destiny. They even accept
    the guilty until exonerated rules!! Perhaps they deserve what they get?
    They need some heroes.

    No - an abused victim of hypocrites.
    There was NO reason to comply. None.
    And this reality is temporary, as is everything.

    Yep, just like volunteering to be a cheap prostitute who signs up to
    be degraded, abused, and used for others profit.
    Gotta love those pimp's enforcers for keeping them in line.
    I don't know what your familes dead, and their dignity are worth but
    it's a WHOLE lot more than this. No way in hell, no how!
    I won't blame the collectors, but whoever sent them to that
    collection, at that time, should be held accountable, and I do mean
    abused at least as badly.
    Better a gutless, degraded slave than stand up for the family though,
    right?

    Whoa, grab a handful of double floating disks TritonRider!
    This sad story is a glowing review of the inabilities of those in
    charge to accomplish even the simplist chores.
    You or I would certainly have a contingency policy in place to
    effectively manage this very situation and still accomplish the task at
    hand.
    Kevin Van Impe has surely been victimized by flawed system.
    Everything happens for reason. Perhaps, this ugly incident will
    serve to outrage enough people to demand better.
    I'm waiting for McQuaid's comments, though I'm not holding my
    breath.

    I'm afraid it was not just an ugly incident. Poor Van Impe offered the
    anti-doping authorities a perfect opportunity to demonstrate their power:
    the showed that nobody is safe from them, not even a rider who will not ride
    for several month (Van Impe is suffering from a knee injury) and just lost
    his son.

    We'll have to see what happens. IF, and this is a huge IF, Van Impe
    went along with this to raise holy hell shortly, then he played it
    right, because he DID do what he'd signed on to first. I never liked
    that from the military, and it's a tenuous defense as we're finding
    out, but the troops are taught to follow the order and raise hell
    later, of course they aren't supposed to follow an illegal order
    either, and the two are frequently taught together with no solution
    being provided. You're usually screwed no matter what you do.
    Probably the same here. I'm afraid they made the point they wanted
    to, "We OWN you!".

    Bill, I am a libertarian. I'm often know to say "The reward of freedom
    is responsibility." It's my way of "front loading" life. Kinda like
    the ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure saying.
    True, it's a shame that the current crop of cyclist are paying for the
    sins of those who've gone before them. Hopefully aspiring juniors will
    exercise more responsibility so that they and those who follow them will
    enjoy the reward of freedom.

    "The law is the law but you must take a human perspective," the Belgian news
    agency quoted Anciaux as saying. "I can well understand the rider had other
    things on his mind at the time of the test."

    What _law_ is he referring to? Or is this a translation mix-up?

    That's as bad or maybe even worse than the time they
    barged into Lance's home even before he had time to
    read that morning's Austin American-Statesman
    newspaper and demand an out of season sample.

    I thought the story in "Every Second Counts" talked about how they
    showed up for an OOC as he was trying to pack his wife into the car as
    she was going into labor. Did I mis-remember?

    Also, I thought the "van Impe tested at crematorium" link was going to
    end up being a spoof article about a posthumous test of Lucien.

    Imagine my surprise when I discovered he was alive. And also, that the
    article was serious.

    There was that also, I think Lance was more [censored] on the day
    when they ruined his after breakfast coffee and newspaper
    read.

    Testing must end? Inconvenient, ill-timed, or even targeted testing
    is nothing to get worked up over. Especially if he's positive.

    Me too. I thought Dan was on the Hebridean calendar and it was April
    the 1st and WADA had a list of deceased riders to exhume and test
    including Anquetil and Poulidor.
