I get it. You hate WADA. But give me a better system before spouting off about whether I follow any sheep mentality
I never said that I hate WADA.
But I don't see them as some all-knowing, unaccountable demi-god either.
I will tell you a better system. WADA investigate more thoroughly, and have to have overwhelming evidence. The burden of proof should be same as in society, "Innocent until proven guilty".
I would be more supportive if it was done like a court. The accused sportsperson and WADA both are represented, both sides present their case, WADA must prove their case through evidence, equivalent to the standard of a court of law (since a drug cheat has broken "sports law", then it should be treated like any other law in society being broken), and that evidence can then be tested by the defence. A neutral person (like a retired judge) could preside, and reach a verdict. If the accused is found guilty, then they get a four year ban, or maybe even a life ban. If found "not guilty", then WADA haven't proven their case, and the defendant is free to go.
I think you hate sportspeople. You resent them because they are rich, famous and living their dream, while you are probably not making a lot of money, don't get recognized by your boss, and you hate your job. To see someone doing better than you sticks in your craw, doesn't it? So then, when a sportsperson loses it all, you find glee in it, because you think "I may not have their money, prestige, influence, or talent, but I don't do drugs, so, at least morally, I am a better person than them".
Now, I might have you pegged wrong. But you want to question my agenda, then I will question yours.
