Don't really care if he's guilty or not but it's also a damning indictment on the USDA that he's never tested positive.
- and that the USda is trying to take away the tour DE FRANCE.

hard to believe they tested him 100's of times and not got a positive result.
Then again, it's claimed that they paid doctors to hide the positive tests.
- Doctors? You mean lab technicians. Anyway, they do not know who's test belong to which riders. At that stage, they are onlyPresta
- (the samples) are only identifiable by a number.Presta
- The number and positive samples are given to the race organizers. And then organizers connect the number to the rider's name.Presta
- name of the rider.Presta
- The claim is whether Lance paid the organizers (Tour officials or UCI) to hide positive result(s).Presta
- My belief is that the French organizers would have loved to catch Lance as a cheat. But they never did.Presta

Even more damning is why the same department that regulates argiculture also regulates doping...just another example of big government gone wrong.
- Okay then, go buy your meat from Congo. No regulation there, no government to bother you either.utopian
- it's the USADA. a different agency.

The former chief of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says a representative of Lance Armstrong's offered the agency a donation in the range of $200,000 to $250,000 in 2004 and the agency immediately rejected it.
....Of course Lance denied that!

"People donated money to Livestrong instead of other cancer charities because they believed in him and what he portrayed himself to be. We now know that he benefitted financially to the tune of millions of dollars based upon that lie. He cheated other athletes who weren't breaking the rules or the law. He fraudulently sued for libel and won over a million dollars. He destroyed other athletes careers defending that lie. For over 12 years he has betrayed the sport of cycling and the spirit of honest athletic competition. He lied to the US government during official investigations. He involved other people in his lie causing them to commit criminal acts. These are only the crimes we know about. .And now that he's confessed, likely blaming the 'overwhelming competitiveness of professional sports' or team management pressure he'll use the confession loophole to get back into racing or triathalons. When you condone his actions because he raised money as a cancer survivor ask yourself if you want your children to poison their bodies, commit crimes, coerce others into committing crimes, benefit financially from these lies and crimes and get away with it because he cried on Oprah."
