Perhaps it's because it's not been proven they HAVE cheated?

[weecalf]

close all sporting arenas ,build houses on them make runners jumpers and the rest go out and do a decent days work .running jumping and the rest is taken to seriously .Who cares if some one can jump 12 feet high run a mile in two minutes not I said the fly.

Claim. Appear to show. May have. Suspicious. Whistleblower.

The above demonstrates the allegations are unproven.

[Old_Geezer]

Suspicious would include innocents.
Unlike but possible all are innocent.
All are presumed innocent until proven guilty anyway.

[Old_Geezer]

Unlikely
Like I typed !

It's media sensationalism if you ask me

[jno]

the problem isn't that all these people have cheated - it's possible none have - but that the authorities haven't followed up the initial abnormal tests to see if they did or not.

[ummmm]

Some innocent drugs can make a test look suspicious.

I always thought it dreadful what they done to Lance Armstrong, after 7 tours of the Tour de,France.

When I was on drugs I couldn't even find my bike!!

You asked:

Why Haven't These Cheating Athletes Been Named And Shamed?

Because if they were and any of the athletes were innocent, then whoever published their names would be sued left right and centre.

Can you imagine how many court cases would be launched?

Let's say 10% of 'the accused' were completely innocent. That's 80 court cases.

Would you be brave enough to reveal the names?

I certainly wouldn't.
