Surely UCI outranks USDA in cycling and in a recent football incident a UK court of law outranks the FA but apparently not.
In scotland in our courts we have a controversial 3rd verdict of 'not proven'. This basically in many folks eyes undermines the Innocent verdict.
If a lesser organisation can say guilty when a higher one says innocent then effectively the various organisations have our 'not proven' verdict.
Result the accussed is dead in the water, bad state of affairs. The USDA should have presented its evidence to the higher authority and if they acted and banned Lance then fine. Destroying someone even when the sports governing body says no case to answer is bad.
I'm not in favour of cheating but I do believe in the correct judicial process otherwise dictatorship and corruption are inevitable. Just look at Pussy Riot in Russia which is a corrupt dictatorship disguised thinly as a democracy.
