VDB: Aquitted, Nuts


It is with great pleasure that we announce that Cycopaths favorite, the Bobby Brown of Belgian Cycling, Frank Vandenbrouke has been acquitted of doping offences by a Belgian court of appeal. They ruled that the one-day specialist had already been punished with a sporting suspension.
"He was acquitted on the basis that you cannot be punished for the same offence twice," a prosecution spokesman said.

While Mr. 60 applauds the court's decision, we can't help but question the rationale for it. Although VDB served a six month suspension from the sport in 2002, that's not really a punishment. It's like forbidding a paraplegic from delivering pizza.

The real reason for this is acquittal is that the courts realized that they could do nothing to Frank that Frank hasn't already done to himself. In that delicate little mind of his, among the cow bells and unicorns, Frank thinks he's from Atlantis and that every weekend he swims among us to look after his chipmunks.

Anyway, the courts knew better than to pick on VDB. It's like bullying a mentally challenged child. Sure you make him cry, but so does the scary dog at the supermarket.

Look at me when I'm talking to you, Frank.
