Default Leave Lance Alone!

From the article:
--------------------------------------------------------------
They’re after Lance Armstrong again — arguably the most exceptional
athlete alive, who won the Tour de France cycling marathon an
unprecedented seven times.

This time it’s not the U.S. justice system trying to convict him for
using drugs to win races, but the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that
wants to strip him of his cycling awards and ban him from triathlon
competitions which is his new speciality.

The Justice Department dropped its case against him: Insufficient
evidence of doping.

That nicety doesn’t impress the USADA.

They insist he used performance enhancing drugs.

Such accusations have swirled around Armstrong ever since he won his
first Tour de France in 1999. No athlete has undergone as many tests
for doping as he has — some 500, he claims. And nothing ever found.

The USADA has some 10 former cyclists who claim knowledge that
Armstrong was doping, or using blood enhancers, or whatever.

But such witnesses are suspect. If Armstrong was so devious and
careful about hiding his doping, how would these guys know? And why
now? Armstrong’s last Tour de France win was 2005. If they couldn’t
nail him then, how can they now?

Not so. Because doping to win bike races is not a crime in the US,
whether he doped or not was irrelevant. The Feds dropped their case
because there was no evidence a crime had been committed.

Or at least nothing that couldn't be fixed by a bit of fancy footwork.
