If he tested positive in 1999, why wasn't he disqualified then? That body is a total joke, if they can't come up with some consistent policy. And clearly they can't. They aren't judging everyone by the same rules. They have no idea what they are doing. If they can only decide 7 years after his last Tour De France victory, they don't know what they are doing. Their policy is only based on who you are, not what you did.
One of the drugs was actually found when tested in 2005 I think. in 1999 there was no test for EPO. which I would have to go back and see what the stuff is.
