Ron and Dorothy Strasser
I have stuck my foot in mouth before, but a response like this when someone has lost a son, brother, sister or friend (I know you are a world and thousands of miles away from this person and his family), I do not think is appropriate. This is a serious incident. I am not attacking you, but hope next time you think before posting. Is that what you want posted with regard to your death? Sorry OBRA, but I just had to say something. I do think (unless the original post person had some proof of doping) the original post made some assumptions so I do understand why statements were made. But it is still a person that died, not something to be made fun. I enjoy humor, but some time for healing first. Just my heart felt feeling.

my opinion is that they should at least give the poor suckers some decent alarm clocks (plural on purpose) so they can wake up at 2 am and do some jumping jacks.

True, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But ones credibility is directly tied to the accuracy of the facts underlying their opinion. For instance, it is a medical fact the sometimes young athletes die from congenital heart defects. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if after all this outrage it turn out that this is the case here?
Therefore I will withhold my own opinion on this subject until more facts become available.

Ken,
Last time I checked everyone on the chat line was entitled to expressing their opinion. "Facts" are highly subjective in the cycling world. Judy's comments are strongly felt sentiments from a professional. If we ever want the cycling world to change we need to stand up against the hypocrisy.
