So, which one of the runners up gets the titles ?
Near all have been banned for failing tests.
Whichever ones of them had not failed drug tests at the time of their race, and have not got other
evidence of drug cheating at the time of their race laid out on the table. Go down the finish line
until you find one.
Doesn't sit well with me - it would be much nicer to have proven drug cheats banned for life,
forward and backward. That way Vinokourov wouldn't have been the 2012 road racing gold medallist.
But that's not the rules at the moment, and so it's a red-herring in the defense of Armstrong.
It's probably wishful thinking, but wouldn't it be nice to see a flurry of new evidence emerge about
any newly crowned runners up who've later proven to cheat ?
