Not sure how or why the man got into this situation but one must consider Karma to play a part.

Basically, it is hard for me to root for a guy to prosper under the conditions in which he works from. Since he cheats and has done so at unprecedented levels for many years, he, for lack of a better term...deserves what he got.
I understand your point and it's well taken, but I disagree. By your reasoning, I guess Karma was handing out the Eclipse Awards this year.

True enough. However, in the current state of the game, those awards are as valuable and worthy as a WWF championship belt.

Hate to be so skeptical and negative but the actions of these trainers, and Scott Lake most notably, has totally ruined the game for me. And I am hardly alone in that feeling.
