I'm not sure if anyone caught the 60 minutes special with Lance's former riding mate saying Lance used EPO and test. I usually could give a chit about things but I'm tired of our government getting involved in things that cost money when IMO ther is not reason for it. Why are they going back and trying to pin him down for something that was back in 05? This will cost millions and what is it going to accomplish? Maybe there is more to the story than I know but it just seems like a witch hunt. Didn't they just try and fail against Bonds.(wonder how many million that cost us)

as has been said multiple times, he's been tested more than any athlete in any sport. I'll believe he doped when there is actual evidence, not just allegations from guys looking to make a buck (Landis & Hamilton). The Hincapie new would be daming since he was so close to Lance, but there are holes in that story it appears.

I don't doubt he used EPO but wasn't he treated for cancer in there? It's prescribed use is for anemia resulting from chemotherapy. Would that legitimate indication be considered a violation of the racing rules?

Actually, there are serious potential side effects of erythropoetin use, including blood clots. If anyone is seated for an extended period of time (such as flying to Europe), they are also at an increased risk of blood clots. Do they really think he would have risked his life, after just having survived cancer, just for a few extra red blood cells?
