Basso gets maximum penalty 24 months..fear enough for me.
I have to say what a stupid waste of talent.

Already mentioned in the News of June-topic - but oh well, might be worth its own topic. |

I think it's not fair. He doesn't deserve the maximum penalty.
He is helping in the investigations. (should be reduce in three or four months).
However, the fact he admitted the contact with the doctor, it is not relevant only for himself. |

Not fair? He was doped. If you dope you get a 24-month-ban. He's lucky that it already expires in 2008 |

lol. yeah, he should be punish. But he is no different of another guilty person. Do, in the courts, the person that heps the investigations is reward with a less penalty?
He shouldn't be treated differently!! |

He has already been rewarded. He didn't get a 24-month-ban, otherwise it wouldn't end already in 2008. Also, no one knows how much or how little he did help them. First of all, he didn't even admit his own doping usage. He only said he intended to dope which is of course a lie. Second of all, as said, we don't know if Basso has helped anyone. He said he did, but nothing has been confirmed by CONI. And third of all, he was rewarded (as said before)  |

I dont know if this is a bad idea or not but if i was the UCI or watever, i would offer an incentive to admiting doping or have information about doping, like a shortened ban etc. |

For me doper is a doper..If they got him needle in hand or after race doesn't make any differnece... Shortened ban if doper admits it is not resolution..this rule starts lot of manipulations.
Admiting is mater of pride.
Basso did it because:If he had denied it..they would got him after few month anyway.

Actually, he wasn't rewarded.
the sentence as stated is 24 months. however, to that they had to remove the total of time that Basso was suspended (remember he was in and out of suspension).
that is why his sentence ends in 2008. this is standard, otherwise, everyone would lose not just two years, but the time during which they were provisionally suspended.
Provisional suspensions "just in case they are guilty", are, by the way, illegal AND inconstitutional in most countries, not to mention extremely unfair to the rider/player/athlete/whatever
as for cycling, the legislation doesn't allow ANY other penalty other than 24 months. not longer, not shorter.

that was sarcasm right?
I can't really tell if it's that or if you think I mean regular law as opposed to cycling regulations
