could very well be true .. there are a lot of passions involved in high performance sporting so maybe someone just wanted to make Tom lose it all.
Lets get real here folks.
Tom's image would ascend in the views of the world of bike racing by admitting he screwed up.
Stop with the excuses already. This silly plea is not going to work.
Tom, as much as I like you, you are done like dinner old sock.
it's really easy to accuse people who are in the spotlight. at the same time it's very difficult for them to prove if they are innocent.
It's not a good situation to be in ..
Now just a reality check here.
Do you really believe Tom is innocent?
I mean here is a star who could not contain it. He was checked for drugs and he got caught. We really have to stop making excuses for "stars".
We're not talking about "stars" here, we're talking first of all about a talented sportsman, a really good one, not Britney Spears. I'm not necessarily saying that he is innocent. I'm just saying that people with talent can get knocked out too easily. The public is a sucker for sensational news and the media are taking advantage of this. There's no presumption of innocence in the mind of the public. What if it will prove to be a lie. How can Tom get back what he lost ? The public will apologize for executing him without trial? The media ? The cyclist organizations that are banning him ? There is still an inquiry going on.
He was caught with cocaine in his blood, he was not caught consuming cocaine. I believe the media should have waited until the matter got cleared.
