No one wants to sell out a team mate, but guys were cheating, guys knew about it, and everyone remained quiet. Now Ibanez is paying a price. Everyone thought they could mind their own business, just go out and work hard and they wouldn't get infected by this stuff, but the the truth is, the entire sport is infected, and anyone who remained silent has lost their justification for complaint.
