It's amazing to me how many people can just discount this fact. Someone simply claiming they know Armstrong cheated is NOT proof. In fact nearly all the evidence proves Lance did NOT cheat.
This has been a taxpayer funded anti American witch hunt from the very beginning.
Even if you think he did cheat, attempts to prove it have utterly failed. So I ask this. What ever happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty? The USADA has used the power of government to destroy an American champion. Who will be next on their list?
Also, the USADA has no power to strip Lance of his TDF titles. That falls to the UIC and WADA which are standing by Lance and against the USADA.(as of now)
Isn't there some kind of best evidence rule that applies in these situations.
The only evidence that should be admissible are the tests. The whole point of their existence is to determine whether someone is cheating. If you pass the tests, then by virtue of the rules of the applicable sport, you haven't cheated. No other evidence matters. Even if they had videotape of Armstrong doping himself, presumably it wouldn't matter because he passed the doping tests.
