See what fessing up will do for you. You get labeled as "drug-

The germans are damned hypocrites. The Bundesliga is dripping with dope
and the players are idolized as gods. Cycling tries to clean up its act
(somewhat) and are punished for doing so.

It is strange that they're being *so* agressive about this for cycling. Like
they're trying to prove that they're the biggest, baddest anti-doping enforcers.

Aren't reformed drunks and smokers the most obnoxious in chastising those who
still use?
