As for sending along the "due process" quote to Floyd, don't you know it's different and doesn't apply if you're a cyclist and have been accused of doping?<BR/><BR/>strstrbukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00814462555882571936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-29489628364246972472008-02-11T10:07:00.000-08:002008-02-11T10:07:00.000-08:00There is an interesting article over on ESPN.com a...There is an interesting article over on ESPN.com about professional tennis players and the concept that certain matches may have involved cheating, beneficial to professional gamblers:<BR/><BR/>http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=3235411&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab4pos2<BR/><BR/>Here is an intersting quote from the head of the ATP. Perhaps he hasn't gotten the memo that anyone accused of throwing matches or providing "inside" information about their health to professional gamblers must be guilty if 3 people file affidavits attesting to that fact and/or circumstantial evidence exists to establish it:<BR/><BR/><BR/>"For its part, the ATP has had to strike the delicate balance of investigating a highly unusual betting pattern without unfairly indicting one of the sport's premier players.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"We never at any point mentioned Davydenko and went to great lengths, in fact, to stress that nobody should mention any player because their reputations were at stake," ATP executive chairman Etienne de Villiers says.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"[Davydenko] is a player, whether he is guilty or not, who deserves due process," de Villiers adds. "He deserves to live by something we all live by, which is, 'We are innocent until we are proven guilty.'"<BR/><BR/>Are we, then? <BR/><BR/>Someone get this over to Floyd Landis ASAP.Laura Challoner, DVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606828463436614790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-33345631737222225232008-02-11T09:46:00.000-08:002008-02-11T09:46:00.000-08:00OK, now the reason is inertia, and taking the 45 m...OK, now the reason is inertia, and taking the 45 minutes or so it'd take to figure it out.<BR/><BR/>thanks for the tip; no promises.<BR/><BR/>TBVDBrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718913310467614671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-38609072040959858812008-02-11T08:28:00.000-08:002008-02-11T08:28:00.000-08:00Sorry, the url didn't paste right.This problem has...Sorry, the url didn't paste right.<BR/><BR/>This problem has been solved, and in fact switching to feedburner provides even more detailed stats:<BR/><BR/>http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/09/19/<BR/>redirect-blogger-rss-feed-to-feedburner-for<BR/>-detailed-statistics-and-monetize-ads/<BR/><BR/>That should be all one line.<BR/><BR/>You can, of course, choose not to turn on full text.
