Armstrong selected treatment specifically to protect his future as an athlete; does this violate paragraph 4?<BR/><BR/>Paragraph #7 has a built in conflict. What if a doctor that treats 2 patients becomes aware that one is doping? He has to maintain the dopers confidential records (by this pledge and by statute) but must also protect the clean athlete's right to compete. Clean athletes can't compete against dopers, can they?<BR/><BR/>Paragraph 8 is exactly what Floyd has run against - unilateral determination of violations and penalties. ACSM members would be agreeing to waive any due process rights.Eightzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326301095221867947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-72363175023452303652007-07-16T22:03:00.000-07:002007-07-16T22:03:00.000-07:00I agree that departure from these principles of et...I agree that departure from these principles of ethical behavior in treating athletes may result in sanctions by ACSM and will accept those sanctions as determined.<BR/><BR/>yasa masta, you know bes, <BR/><BR/>what a screw job for professional athelets.

I wonder if there was any pressure behind the scenes after the hearing. Of course the UCI hasn't changed, but it sounds like maybe the US athletes will get a fairer shake. The USADA doesn't want to look "stupid" with the Olypmics coming up.cat2bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793506247703536677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-90150978170442136562007-07-16T18:01:00.000-07:002007-07-16T18:01:00.000-07:00I missed the part of the pledge where they agree t...I missed the part of the pledge where they agree to give up a year of their income if they're found guilty of a doping-related offense....Nancy Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18402516081283603553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-44621462870336564872007-07-16T18:00:00.000-07:002007-07-16T18:00:00.000-07:00I will use all means possible to deter doping by a...<I>I will use all means possible to deter doping by athletes I am treating or training.</I><BR/><BR/>"All means possible".<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. Think about that.<BR/><BR/>Are people who take this pledge now obliged to, say, bomb the office of a doctor supplying doping products to athletes? That is certainly possible and would tend to deter doping.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761649488198090733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-65615767298185128682007-07-16T17:17:00.000-07:002007-07-16T17:17:00.000-07:00I like the new ACSM pledge.

I believe they taped the interview last week when Floyd was here for a book signing.<BR/><BR/>It could be amusing just because this show is usually about soap operas, makeovers, and other stuff of interest to elderly women. Last week they had a segment titled "What Your Poop Says About You". I didn't record that but I'll try to remember to set the DVR to catch Floyd tomorrow.Cubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13165830621857799735noreply@blogger.com
