Re: Lance Armstrong done contesting drug allegations
I agree with those who say this is a witch hunt. It's a fact that most pros and many amateurs dope. This is the case in most sports where doping would make a measurable difference, not just cycling. It's also a fact that the system in place to detect who is doping just doesn't work. It's the old game of cat and mouse. Invent new ways to detect illicit drugs, the riders will find ways around them. If they're going to strip Lance of his Tour de France titles, then they might as well vacate the record of just about everyone else who rode with him. Maybe the rider who came in 100th place will be declared the winner when all is said and done. Or maybe nobody at all was "clean".
I wish Lance would have fought this but in the end everyone has their breaking point. You can't fight what amounts to a kangaroo court anyway. They picked Lance only because of his success. If you ask me, the only dopers are the ones running the USADA.
