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

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...x.html?cnn=yes

The French Lose Again.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) - Independent Dutch investigators cleared Lance Armstrong of doping in the 1999 Tour de France on Wednesday, and blamed anti-doping authorities for misconduct in dealing with the American cyclist.

A 132-page report recommended convening a tribunal to discuss possible legal and ethical violations by the World Anti-Doping Agency and to consider "appropriate sanctions to remedy the violations."

The French sports daily L'Equipe reported in August that six of Armstrong's urine samples from 1999, when he won the first of his record seven-straight Tour titles, came back positive for the endurance-boosting hormone EPO when they were retested in 2004.

Armstrong has repeatedly denied using banned substances.

The International Cycling Union appointed Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman last October to investigate the handling of urine tests from the 1999 Tour by the French national anti-doping laboratory, known by its French acronym LNDD.

Vrijman said Wednesday his report "exonerates Lance Armstrong completely with respect to alleged use of doping in the 1999 Tour de France."

The report also said the UCI had not damaged Armstrong by releasing doping control forms to the French newspaper.

The report said WADA and the LNDD may have "behaved in ways that are completely inconsistent with the rules and regulations of international anti-doping control testing," and may also have been against the law.

Vrijman, who headed the Dutch anti-doping agency for 10 years and later defended athletes accused of doping, worked on the report with Adriaan van der Veen, a scientist with the Dutch Metrology Laboratory.

EPO, or erythropoietin, is a synthetic hormone that boosts the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Testing for EPO only began in 2001.

It doesn't really make any sense. The grupetto is the group of riders behind the peloton (the big group).

Looks like Lance busted half a nut on graystroke's girlfriend. Did Lance break your heart? The day you found out did you rip all his posters off your wall and swear you would never stalk him again?

No, I was asking what new evidence you think that USADA has that proves that Armstrong doped. I haven't seen what that is. Have you? If they have a positive, why wasn't it found before?

Armstrong failed tests during his 2009 and 2010 comeback attempts.

Then there's the long parade of witnesses, including teammates, going back to 1998. Above all of that, is the blatantly obvious fact that Armstrong could not have possibly beaten a field full of cheaters, by only a few minutes, not hours so that you'd think he's some crazy mutant species of human, during those 7 years.

None of us do. There probably aren't 10 people on this site that truly know the sport.

That's my point.

It's why people do cheat.

After 5 years it doesn't impact anyone other than YOU the athlete. Only you lose.

You mean a list of cyclists who DID get positives, were banned, denied it and then came clean? You consider those to be reliable witnesses?

That doesn't make any sense, either. In fact, it seems to negate your argument. If he HAD beaten all these dopers by hours and not minutes, your argument might make sense. He didn't. He also always had a VERY strong team riding for him. Only in the individual TTs is it a non-team sport. Even then, teamates will support the leader.

Nah, I wish. Then perhaps my offspring would have been better cyclists.

I just like fair sport.

Other than enjoying how much he pissed off the Frogs, I never gave a crap about Armstrong or cycling one way or another.
