Weak. Doping is the crime that caused Lance to lose his results. All of the others are either convicted of very similar crimes or are extremely suspicious of having committed similar crimes and yet have been allowed to keep their results. This is a very obvious double standard. Get the point?
How is it weak? When handing down the lifetime ban both USADA and WADA said that the doping violations were more or less the same as others, it was the mafiaesque behaviour that shoved Lance over the line to a lifetime ban.
Tell you what, I'll accept Lance was doing the same as everyone else when you can prove everyone else was engaged in the same "extra-curricular" behaviour.
Everyone in the top 10 when Lance was racing was implicated in doping. You would have a hard time going down the line of all starters to find a rider that anyone would be willing to champion as being clean.
How many times does it have to be said that Lance got a life ban because of more than just doping?
Tygart himself said that if it was JUST doping Armstrong would have gotten 8 years, the other crap Lance did is what got him the lifetime ban. Time to accept it.
