I don't know about DPF, but most people here are not under any illusions regarding Rock Racing, especially given how dopers/ex-dopers have gravitated over there.
and when Ball describes doping as a mistake, a problem to be handled internally, and to understand the dynamics of it. WFT?
You lay out the doping anthropology in training camp, say this is how it occurs, why it occurs, why it is banned. You even make a case for why it should be legalised. When you have laid it all out bare on the table, then you institute your policy on doping and give no illusions why it is not allowed in your team. Even if it is HGH and will never show up, even under a closed circuit, and no one knows. No, this is why, the team is clean. Doping is not a mistake, it is committing a fraud.
There, you explain it in no uncertain terms, you even give a reason why it should be legalised and the counter argument, a dialectic if you will. This is not to be ambiguous, and a wink, wink, nod nod, don't see anything, see no evil hear no evil. It is about comprehensively educating them. If you only give one side of the argument, it looks one sided, and if they explore the other options they may well dope without you being aware, which is not what you want.
But a mistake. Nope, doping is premeditated and orchestrated to cheat. You educate your riders first, before looking into "reasons". Ball is a fricken idjit.
