Beltran gets 2 years

Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that he could get a licence this year, Spanish rider Manuel Beltrán has been banned for two years from French competition and looks set to suffer the same punishment on the world stage.

Tricky indeed. I don't want to get judgemental, I just want to open things up for discussion. Sometimes we get so black-and-white about "passionate" beliefs that we can't see through the spin and look at the human being who may have been tempted, coerced, lured or tricked into doing something they otherwise wouldn't do. It's against the law to exceed the speed limit (and unless the road is empty and devoid of the unexpected it's a high-risk activity anyway) yet many of us choose to do it. Why? Is it as black and white as you think?
