Rumor has it…

This week two champions that were accused of doping were set free and entered the competitions again: Alberto Contador and Claudia Pechstein.
In any way someone was fault in these cases.



It was either the athlete itself who fooled the entire sport world by winning matches while doped and now put amazingly much pressure on the sport federations to compete again and the associations bowed for that.

Or it were the sport federations and doping agencies that wanted to make a statement or were too much drifted away from reality by their cause to end doping (any random top sport athlete will argue that the nowadays doping rules are way to inhumane and completely lose sight of their original aims) and Contador and Pechstein were the victims of this exaggerated policies.

Which case is true is not even relevant, there obviously is something bad going on in nowadays sport world. This now has become an ethical discussion. Who in sport is to be trusted? Must we doubt any result? Must we doubt the sport federations, who already showed to be highly corrupt?

Commercial benefits have created a monster. Something that was meant as entertainment, turned into a world where people are living a lie. People who do not have sincere sport hearts are occupying the leading positions in sport federations or are winning prices and money on conditions that don’t have anything to do with sport ethics anymore. When will something changes? Must there be a Sport related WikiLeaks to set the tone or a revolution of fair athletes to show the corruption of the regime?
