It's hard to prepare cross-examination and rebuttal experts when the prosecution won't disclose their evidence and witnesses. He's been fighting these allegations since 1999 and has endured a 2-year federal investigation.

You apparently don't understand the arbitration process. The panel of three arbitrators, as in most arbitrations, has the authority to direct the USADA to diclose the names of the witnessess, a summary of the testimony, and each exhibit that it intends to offer to prove its case way in advance of the arbitration hearing. The panel of arbitrators also has the authority to allow Armstrong to inspect and test documents and physical evidence and to depose the USADA witnesses under oath well in advance of the arbitration.

In my three decades of experience as both an attorney advocate in arbitration proceedings and as an arbitrator, the arbitration process is fair and objective and in many cases more so than the judical system. If you want to know why, then I'll explain in another post.

I wouldn’t bother

Reason and information are not exactly the most sought after subject on this forum once they get stirred up around here.

it’s like “which direction did the wolfman go carrying the pretty damsel”..and the crowd dashes off in the night torches in hand and pitchforks in tow

the USADA better watch out..lol

“f you want to know why, then I’ll explain in another post.”

I’ve never seen a Daubert hearing on any of the scientific evidence in an arbitration. Maybe the ones I’ve been involved in were exceptions. This area of drug testing is fraught with problems and only the insiders get to agree on the methods. Take a look at USADA and WADA. I don’t completely trust them because they never seem to disagree with each other because they don’t won’t to be on the outside looking in.
