I think you misunderstood my position, maybe because I did not make it clear enough.
My own belief (which cannot be based on evidence, of course) is that almost EVERYONE, in EVERY sport, is using doping, that it has been like this for decades, and that people need to wake up and realize it.
I'm in no way downplaying the accusations against Moral, I'm pretty convinced this guy was involved in doping, and all the people connected with him as well. When I put him on a list together with Ferrari, Conconi or Fuentes, that's what I'm saying. All these guys were part of a huge system of dopping, and probably almost every other doctor working with high level sportsmen in sports where there's big money (I'm not so sure about the other sports).
I'm also pretty sure that anyone working with such a doctor who claim they're working with him for "other reasons" is lying (BTW that's what Armstrong used to say whenever he was questioned about Ferrari... how anyone could believe that it beyond me)
My problem with what is happening, everytime there is a case, is that they consistently fail to expose the entire system, and only focus on the few people who are directly or indirectly involved.
Sure, the Armstrong scandal has exposed a lot of people, and I believe that in a way, it's a good thing. But as usual, the mechanism is the following: everyone engages in doping, and everyone inside the system knows it (and often actively encourage it). But the rule is: when someone gets caught, everyone else saves their ass by pretending that they knew nothing, or even actively bashing that person (so as to cover up their own responsibility).
When I say people are covering up their asses, I don't mean other riders who were with Armstrong and have admitted to being dopers. I mean every sport official, team official, doctor, or journalist who was part of the system and acted as an active or passive accomplice (and now claims to feel horribly disappointed and betrayed and whatnot).
Look at the ICU with Armstrong. The real progress to be made is on this point. It seems absolutely obvious that Armstrong had a lot of accomplices among sports officials, that's how he could use dope in total impunity (now they're saying that he was actually tested positive maybe up to 6 times, but there was a cover up). But the ICU know they're in danger, and what they did was, they condemned Armstrong and stripped him of his titles, to convince people that they were not his "protectors."
Now, if it goes no further, then the entire Armtrong case will have led to nothing very valuable. They need to push it further and expose everyone, or else, it's no use.
I wish I could find time to read Hamilton's book, but I probably won't have time, and to be honest, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what it says. There have been dozens of books like this one, the first one was Erwann Menthéour's Secret Défonce back in 1999. But it did not really change anything.
I know my opinion can sound shocking, but now, for me, the "default" assumption about anyone involved in high level sports is that they are involved in doping or covering up about doping. I believe people who are really "pure", innocent and genuinely fighting against doping are the real exception, if they exist at all.
And I don't even care anymore about doping itself (can you even say it's "cheating" when everyone's using it?), but I am truly sick of the hypocrisy surrounding it.
That's why the idea of a general amnesty (or even legalization of doping) to make everyone come forward and tell the truth seems interesting to me. People are not going to do it on their own initiative, because they have everything to lose and very little to gain.
Now sure, all this can seem to be idle musings of my mind based on nothing but thin air. But back in the Golden Age of Lance Armstrong, I had guessed everything that was going on and people were dismissing those theories with this same argument ("you have no evidence", "you are condemning people without proof", "you are just jealous of his success", "you believe in conspiracy theories", and so on and so forth). Now with the USADA investigation, it turns out that everything I had suspected was true.
