The federal charges were dropped

and then charges were picked up by the USADA, with a different headline

but I'm sure the initial USPS fraud charges had something to do with doping allegations

*disclaimer* I never cared about cycling and or Lance Armstrong, so alot of this is based on assumptions and this particular article

It also feels like this has been going on forever

the questions that remain

cyclists before and after LA have tested positive for PEDs

so we are to believe that he and his team devised a training regiment that has not been duplicated before or since

conspiracies usually crumble once they are exposed

yet we have no smoking gun

what is gained by this?

I would imagine after the first couple of titles, LA was probably targeted for extra testing

is the USADA saying they knew along that he was doping, but only want to present the evidence now

aren't they admitting that their testing was faulty if all of his tests were clean and he was allowed to race

are they now testing specimens retroactively, with new procedures to uncover previously undetectable substances

isn't the USADA somewhat of a contracted entity for the UCI, shouldn't they be presenting the evidence to the UCI for ruling

like I said, it feels like this has been going on forever

Ironic

an endurance athlete has grown tired of our legal system
