LOL. No he wasnt. He was tested according to the same rules everyone else was.

Furthermore, I wont go too far into the "science" of it, but a doper is "glowing" (ie would test positive) about one day a month. So a little intelligence about when a tester would knock on your door is all it took. Thats it. Also, the idea of taking EPO is to bring your hemocrit levels (red blood cell count) to a spot juuuust below where you would trigger a positive. So if its at say, 43 naturally and a level of 50 would trigger a test, you bring it up to 49. Bingo....you get a performance advantage and dont trigger a positive. There are reports that racers like Bjarne Riis and others who raced before the tests came had levels that were in the mid 60s. Their blood must have been like thick red mud.
The "never tested postive" claim is a scam.
Silly comment. The evidence is now overwhelming. The number of people lining up to testify is as well. The sport is being shaken to its core. This AM, two major sponsors dropped out. Sponsors who have been in pro cycling for decades. Are they "haters" too?
Lance is not just another doper...hes THE doper. If you still believe IN him and want to accept him with his sins, fine. You can do that. Some of MY favorite pros are ex dopers....Riis, Pantani, Valverde, etc. But one can no longer ignore his sins, say they did not exist and cast aspersions on those who have truthfully brought them to light.
