Unless I missed it, there was no light at the end of this tunnel as described.
Valiant only was the fight? Thanks for the link.

Interesting article. I guess the moral is- unscrupulous people will find a way to stay one step ahead of testing.

Both the above responses are correct.

As the game is currently played and policed, it is doomed. No light at the end of this tunnel.

Look at what the NFL did to the Patriots\' coach. Now THAT is a penalty! Our game doesn\'t do squat. Where would Patrick Biancone be right about now if were in the NFL instead of the NTRA culture?

I predict that in my lifetime (I am 64yo), and sooner rather than later, the sport will be saved by a group of sportsmen, who will start a private racing league.

As a private league, rules will be in place to restrict membership to well-intentioned individuals and if somebody breaks a rule, they will be excluded from the club.

I am not a club type of guy in general, but for our sport to continue at a high level, it should not be open to everybody, because there are too many creeps in it.
