So says the United States Anti-Doping Agency in a remarkably exhaustive report of its investigation into charges that Armstrong climbed to unprecedented stardom atop a bicycle with the aid of banned substances.
The document conclusively nails Armstrong with overwhelming sworn testimony, email correspondence, bank records and analyses of his blood samples.
It all but begs federal law enforcement authorities to refocus their attention on Armstrong after unexplainedly closing a probe — if only to consider indicting him for perjury.
Armstrong’s doping was no hit-and-miss proposition. It started in 1999 and went on for a decade. Under his command, it was highly organized and entailed surreptitious deliveries of prohibited substances, elaborate ruses to avoid blood tests and insistence that teammates participate.

CNN does...a lot. When the Libya hearings were going on yesterday they had BREAKING NEWS going for 2 hours on this.
So...Is the only evidence anecdotal and hearsay?
He’s the Obama of the bike world.
defend what?
Oh wait, you mean wanting to see both sides of a story is indefensible?
It’s European pro bike racing. Of course it’s dirty. It always has been and (unless they shut it down completely) it always will be.
They are going to have issues figuring out who was clean enough in those years to be awarded the title. That will be amusing to watch.
Ha! Me too ... and it is.
There was probably less dope in Lance during his entire career than the dope in the white hut.
So Lance is a cheat among cheaters. He was still the best of them. You ever wonder why no active cyclist ever complains about the other guy cheating?
So for me, it doesn't make him less than the best, to me, the only thing he has done is to lie to the public about it. Yes, that is bad, and the entire sport is a farce in that case. Has been for a long time.
My point was that Lance’s biggest crime was not being born a surrender-monkey.
It’s like they won’t be happy until Armstrong hangs himself in shame.
So what?
He won in an almost universally corrupt sport. They’re just upset because they got out cheated.
Lance Armstrong has created more jobs than Barack Obama.
How many people have made a career of the “Armstrong Witch Hunt”?
Ah finally a Lancebot.
Yeah, NO ONE has EVER been convicted of circumstantial evidence based on the legal testimony of 26 individuals !
Are you mental, got a cognitive dissonance problem or are just purely ignorant jurisprudence ?
PS: Read the report. He tested +
Rush has talked about this Big Media game they play. Build a guy up and then tear him down.
I don’t care.
Push the limits.
Repeal that dumbass 2005 andro ban as well...
Why did he never fail a drug test ..... ever?! We can’t have the best be an American now can we? That’s why they continue to hound him.
He passed every drug test they gave him.
Now you defend the 10 year persecution of Armstrong with no hard physical evidence.
Of course there was no coercion, threats, or promises of leiniency used to get the testimony of others - right?
I meant to reply to the original poster not you! ;-)
