You too Ryan. What sponsor has taken a hit because
of a doping scandal? Following the arguments that
are being made here that should be trivial.

dumbass,

i'm not debating hypotheticals because i deal with sponsors and i'm
telling you how the people who direct marketing think.

they aren't always looking for "name recognition". coke, pepsi, louis
vuitton and state farm are all well known names.

any big corporate sponsor will be interested in developing a certain
image or aligning themselves with certain values and are very
particular about the type of exposure they get.

Dumbass,

That's why all teams are openly anti-doping. Even
the ones with the worst histories of doping problems.

No one has gotten burned on this. Now, some might
look at that and conclude that no one gets burned.
But apparently not everyone.
