500 clean tests, zero positive tests.
LOL
The OJ Simpson defense !?
LOL
My finger prints aren`t on the knife, so I didn`t do it despite the overwhelming circumstantial evidence and countless witnesses under oath.
Yeah, keep telling that to yourself.
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?
Actually at least 1 positive test, which was later “cleared”:

The fact of the matter is the dopers tend to be ahead of the testers. That’s why they store samples for later with better testing. In track and field and cycling a really significant percentage of awarded winners have their wins stripped 5 or 6 years later. There’s an Olympic sprint from the 90s that no longer has a bronze medal winner because 6 of the 8 women to run in the finals had their stored samples test positive.
In the middle of this purge, I found a prescription box in the medicine cabinet—to the side of the vanity in the bathroom—that sent everything spiraling. I knew what it was. Not exactly at first, but I sensed from my rudimentary knowledge of medicine that this box shouldn’t be in the bathroom of a professional cyclist.
The label said Androstenedione. I looked it up on a laptop computer Armstrong had given me months before. I was searching for valid reasons why he would have this substance, a banned steroid. There were none. I put it back and did my best to forget about it. But I was torn. Should I risk alienating Armstrong and losing my job by calling him out?
If Armstrong really was riding dirty during the Tours, and it really did take seven to thirteen years after the fact to figure that out, they’ve got an enforcement problem that dwarfs whatever cheating he might have been doing.
