According to Fox Sports, USADA is claiming that samples Armstrong gave in 2009 and 2010 are positive for masking agents.
Of course, that’s years after his last Tour win.
I’ve always accepted Armstrong at his word.
But the growing list of team mates who have testified against him has cracked my confidence in the guy.
Yeah.
When big George Hincapie joined the long list it was a turning point for me.
Me too. But that's the problem with organizations like the USADA -- once you've been 'targeted' they don't let up. It's death by a thousand cuts. If they can't get you legally, they get you in the court of public opinion.
I think that it's 'likely' that Armstrong doped. But I also think that the entire sport of cycling is a cesspool for doping. It would be hard to imagine a 'clean' competitor dominating the toughest competition in the entire sport for as long as he did. This is the crux of the problem for Armstrong in defending against these charges.
Team mates or wanna be’s?
Jealously is an ugly animal.
How many of those are just pissed at the world that they did not do as well?
How does any test change the fact his hearl is LITERALLY 30% larger than average?
The USADA just stinks in this mess. So ANYBODY who has an axe to grind can “get revenge” as long as they wait long enough.
BTW tea is a “masking agent”. Water is a making agent.
I also find it telling that they USADA did not want an actual trial but a rigged binding arbitration.
