So there can be no redemption? I can’t, off the top of my head, think of any endeavors where someone can never participate again once they’ve cheated. Certainly

So there can be no redemption? I can’t, off the top of my head, think of any endeavors where someone can never participate again once they’ve cheated. Certainly not in sports.
- makoz 4y agoReally? Doping and Lance Armstrong is the first thing that comes to mind. Although I guess we could argue he wasn't competing anymore
- constantcrying 4y ago>So there can be no redemption? Maybe, maybe not. If it had turned out that it really had been the case that he hadn't done any cheating since childhood I would have been quite a bit more sympathetic. Redemption is not something you are entitled to, it is something you may receive after many years of exemplary behaviour. Personally I wouldn't want him blacklisted from the entire sport. But at the same time he is deserving of suspicicion by other players. I also think that he didn't do himself any favors with that lawsuit and it makes it even more understandable if other professional players want to avoid playing him.
- TylerE 4y agoCould there be? Sure. Has Hans done anything to warrant it? Not that I can see. If he were to announce, say, a 5 year break from competitive play and a substantial amount of volunteer work, that'd be a start. Not filing this sham of lawsuit.
