Philip Gomes says it’s time for transparency both ways:
Today we are watched and we watch the watchers, recording everything and each other via mobile phone, Twitter, blogs, images, video and more.
Many of us who engage fully in social media are, like Armstrong, already living a Truman Show life anyway. Why not step it up to another level and allow athletes to record their conversations and interactions with the drug testers?
They can then publish them to the web almost as fast as the AFLD leaks to the pages of L’Equipe.
While many call for privacy and an adherence to a strict cone of silence in the doping wars, I think it’s time for total transparency.
Armstrong (and other athletes) should be allowed to fully record his interactions with the drug testers, all in the interests of openess and disclosure.
He’s halfway there anyway and it’ll make for great drama and entertainment in real time.
