    I’m nearly always with you all the way Punk but on this one I can see another / alternative opportunity or ‘spin’ 🙂 If they can afford to drop $762 million on a fine then just think what we could do with just 10% of that towards youth development in cycling.
    Besides, being that EPO link is so bleedin obvious then let’s take it and use it to highlight that all this years super fast guys you see in TOC are NOT using the product. Don’t get mad, get even or even ahead 😉

    i can see your point Mark, but the muddying of the waters by Amgen in regards to this – i.e. not fully addressing the fans’ concerns, not being proactive for e.g. launching efforts to aid the drug testers in catching cheats etc makes me feel that right now, their casts more shadow than rays of sunlight.

    Amgen it seems did not properly regulate the distribution and sale of their early EPO, and in fact encouraged its use amongst those who didn’t really need it.

    did they come forth ands announce the problems with the drug? did they contact sporting federations to inform the potential for misuse? i don;t know – if they did i want to know, if they didn’t then they were negligent.

    so for me, they have to step up and take responsibility on this first…

    You missed the part about the involvement of Thom Weisel who took Amgen public and his backing of Armstrong and Co.
