People are free to bemoan what they want. Counterproductivity doesn't matter, as there is very little produced on these boards anyway. It's not as if we decide Landis' fate.

I don't think our impact is such that a few people here claiming he doped on the basis of a failed A-test will ruin Landis' reputation. It's fair to point at the other possible explanations for the test result, but if someone believes that doping is the most likely one, then I think that person should be free to say so. It's not a ridiculous statement, but I agree that it is a bit premature.
