Funny you should say so, because indeed I am a fan of Bonds. Although I haven't really followed the allegations against him, all I know is, I find it hard to believe (concerning Rasmussen) that a training of any form whatsoever could assist in his overall performance at the Tour, while he's been found to be completely clean during the event itself. He's been tested 14 times already, and every test has come out clean, so indeed, in his case I see no reason other than an administrative error for his suspension, which in my opinion is a severe overreaction and will only work against the efforts of redeeming the already heavily tainted reputation of cycling. He was training in the Alps and not in Mexico... so what? Half the peleton have had the exact same warning by the UCI for not informing them of their whereabouts during their training, why was Rasmussen singled out by everyone and punished more severely than everyone else?
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I kinda respect the anti-Stasi human rights methodology of "innocent until proven guilty"; epecially as his innocence has been proven on numerous occasions.
