And there are times when I get annoyed about certain aspects and lash out. I usually regret doing that and retract. How else should I be expected to approach things? Should I be asking guys, "Did Beetlebomb get needled on the way over, or did you let him run on his own courage?" I'll stop doing this before believing that everyone is cheating and have to approach it that way.

Isn't the problem on this issue: what happens after a guy has been exposed? Is your show going to be Merv Griffin, or is it a journalistic endeavor? As to the exposed trainer, I don't think you can be both.
