Irritating and hypocritical

Brian Moore has a few comparisons to make in the wake of 'Bloodgate', in The Daily Telegraph.

"European Rugby Cup and its 'process-challenged' independent disciplinary panel are still hiding from uncomfortable questions on Bloodgate and know that the fall-out from unearthing evidence that the Heineken Cup-winning side cheated would be catastrophic – best not go there then.

"Some individuals have unwisely joined in this orgy of double standards. Many a smile met Lawrence Dallaglio's utterances on cheating. Leicester Tigers fans used to have a sweepstake on what minute Wasps would pull the old uncontested scrum ploy when they faced them.

"Moreover, unless Lol is certain his career was taintless he should work privately on the Rugby Football Union investigative Task Force.

"Arsène Wenger's legendary myopia and amnesia concerning his own players' fouls contrasts markedly with his clear view and moral certainty about Emmanuel Adebayor's misbehaviour last weekend."
