Are you saying that threads on ways people cheat belong in PARF? - I can see that.

Certainly Lance Armstrong cheating was a tough pill. We all wanted to believe that he was naturally that good. - that exceptional. And that such a seemingly good guy would not be capable of cheating such a large audience. ...of compelling others to insist "you have no proof" for a decade+.

YET, Even without proof smart people start to extrapolate. ..eyebrows raise... For example, even without proof*, a smart mod might extrapolate that this bump is about something more than decade long undetected cheating machine, hidden from the fans of bicycle racing.

The fact that people cheat is something we should not bury our heads to. NASCAR, Horse racing... cheating abounds. The trick for the observer is to spot it. The trick for the players/racers is to not get too greedy. Lance got greedy and the people previously protecting that racket said enough. Yet I expect that bicycle racing still has cheaters.

* I know, no proof needed here.
