What good are rules if even the enforcing body won't follow them?

I'm reading the headlines on CN this evening about the cycling team everyone loves to hate...Rock Racing and their troubles with the Tour of California. The UCI has a rule that says if you are actively being investigated and prosecuted for a doping offense you can't race. But apparently they have decided that isn't enough. It appears that if they even think someone might be involved but they don't have enough evidence to proceed with prosecuting them, that should be enough to ban them too. The TOC crowd has fallen in line with this. I could care less about botero or sevilla, but hamilton should be alowed to race. He was caught, prosecuted and has served his punishment. Regardless of whether he admitted to it or not. He has done his time and according to the rules should be able to race. If he is tied to puerto, that is old news, that just proves he did it and was caught. This crap about banning him forever is wrong. It seems like they are doing that anyway. I like watching pro racing, but this doping stuff makes it less and less desireable to follow. If you catch someone...great, convict him, suspend him and then after his suspension, let him race again if someone will hire him.
IF YOU WANT TO BAN THEM FOR LIFE...CHANGE THE RULES SO THAT YOU CAN.

The tour of California organizers suck.
