They don’t have any test results. Shouldn’t tht count for something, or nothing, as it were? Does no one find it troubling ha=ow this has been “tried?”
Throw the tests out, if you wish. What about Armstrong’s administration and trafficking of PED’s? What about the conspiracy? What about the bribery? What about the witness intimidation?
there were no tests available at the time the cheating occurred for the cheating they were doing, including transfusions of their own blood during a race, EPO, and testosteron.
They don't have any test results against all the other riders either.
And yet "the agency said 20 of the 21 riders on the podium in the Tour from 1999 through 2005 have been 'directly tied to likely doping through admissions, sanctions, public investigations' or other means. It added that of the 45 riders on the podium between 1996 and 2010, 36 were by cyclists 'similarly tainted by doping'."
Should we then excuse all of them along with Lance???
All of them have been tied to doping and cheating the same way Lance has and the evidence against him is more substantial.
