It appears
to be the open season for debunking heroes, mostly through the medium of the
national press. A thousand page dossier from
the US Anti-doping agency claims to show that Lance Armstrong, the multi-Tour
de France winner and cancer survivor, was a sophisticated drug treat and that Sir
Jimmy Saville, the lovable TV personality and charity worker, a predatory paedophile.
In both cases the legal process has yet to be conducted and there are still
unanswered questions to be addressed, such as why Armstrong passed a hundred
percent of his drug tests and why there were no complaints against Saville
during his lifetime. It would appear
that Jim managed to fix that.Thursday, 11 October 2012
