If he never tested positive, how do they have proof?

Have followed and partissipated in endurance sport for more than sixty years, and I have been pretty sure that Armstrong used some type of tetesteron doping in the late 1990s and he tested positive in two tests in 2009 and 2010, but he managed to bribe some officials, donating over 100 000 $ and they hid the tests and didn’t release the resaults, but as always, somebody found out, in this case, a french news paper, anyway, lots of info on this out there

If there’s lots of info out there, I surely would appreciate a link or three from sources who are beyond reproach.

This is sad...don’t know if it’s true or not, though.

What is your source for that?

What the USADA has is hearsay. The known witnesses are convicted dopers. If this were a real court of law, these charges would be dismissed. But this is more akin to an IRS investigation being brought in a tax court. Good luck defending that.

I don't know if Armstrong is innocent. Given the nature of the sport of cycling in recent years I'd say he's likely to have doped. But that should be beside the point. Show me physical proof.
