Lance Armstrong cleared of doping charges (and now drops the fight)

If they had a positive test to put forth here, I'd be inclined to give this more credence. Armstrong is probably one of, if not the most drug tested athlete of all time. They caught Landis, they caught Hamilton, they caught Contador, they catch people every year. I can accept that his cancer treatments might have provided some advantage early on, but seriously. This case seems flimsy at best and usually based on the testimony of someone who is hocking a book or has some interest like Jose CanLandis.

Maybe he did, but for how many cyclists are routinely caught doping there is a stunning lack of evidence IMO

Very well put. I agree.

I don't believe Hincapie ever tested positive. And yet you have his statement today. Is there anyone left saying he didn't cheat, other than his lawyers?

The evidence is coming that will show the UCI (Governing Body of Pro Cycling), hid positive results from Lance Armstrong.

It was fixed. You could test him a BILLION times and he woulda came up Negative with the UCI covering your back!

He is so ****ed!
