Default arguing about doping

on the online forum for my cycling team, I said that I think Hamilton, Landis, and Armstrong probably doped.

There is a guy there that defends all these guys (and he is much more knowledgeable than me in terms of the technical aspects and how it all works, and what the flaws with lab are, etc.).

He has jumped all over me. He knows some of the players in these incidents personally.

I think it's funny. How do you get to the point where you give all these guys the benefit of the doubt? How do you get to that place?

Let's see, those kids shouldn't have thrown water balloons at football players.

I know you didn't use that reasoning, but fans who deify athletes or have personal connections to athletes tend to not be objective.
