man oh man

i sure hope the other rider isn't todd wells. when i heard that crawford was involved in doping my two major concerns were powers and wells. powers has been outspoken and seemingly forthright regarding the issue (whatever that is worth any more). wells recently shut down his season a little abruptly (he had been saying was going to shoot for cx nationals/worlds but then all of a sudden decided not to due to sponsorship obligations to mtb). whenever these guys don't do what they said they were going to do, it usually has something to do with eligibility. i really hope i am wrong.

doping happened. just about everyone with any meaningful results over the past who knows how many years were most likely on something either on a banned list or later banned. why can't everyone fess up at once, instead of this trickle, and then collectively move on? they all doped. they are still phenomenal athletes who did phenomenal things. rather then dredge the past, the powers that be should focus on prevention and policing in the present.
