I’m sorry, but I find this style of unfounded accusation the means of those who cannot accept the facts.
Lance has been tested for drugs more than any other athlete in the world! Not only that, but he is tested both in season and out of the season. He has never failed a test!
As a result of your inability and the inability of some others to accept this reality, you and they have chosen to try and throw as much shit as possible at the wall in the hope that something will stick even though you and they have no substantiation for your or their accusations.
Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could accuse you of being a fraud/cheat/criminal without anything but unsubstantiated accusations and innuendo.
You are neck deep in your own cesspool. Keep it up and you will drown in it and we will be spared your further cowardice and jealousy.
As you said, let’s look at the evidence-
“former team employee gives statement that Lance did drugs”
Comment: former team employee has no proof other than hearsay evidence and also has a significant grudge against LA. Could this be motivation for his disparaging statement? Not only that, but the statement he gives lack credibility for illogical inconsistencies.
“Lance seeks advice from a doctor known to dope riders”
Comment: sounds pretty much like guilt by association to me. By the way, do you happen to know what this doctor’s lifetime contribution to cycling has been? I think not based on your comment/accusation by association.
“Lance has a positive test, granted he had a medical certificate and got out of it but it is still there…”
Comment: Many professional cyclists have had numerous occurrences of this sort. LA has had only one in 13 years of professional cycling, 7 years of which were at the highest levels of the sport and which placed him under the greatest scrutiny. Was he simply given a pass because everyone loves him, loves Texans and loves Americans?
“Postal team employees were photographed disposing of medical waste in a very suspicious manner”
Many teams dispose of medical waste and personal trash in a similar manner to protect training methods and privacy of team members. Again, this is merely innuendo.
“Now we have susposed (supposed sp.) samples of his actually testing positive.”
Comment: This is new to me. Why haven’t I heard about this from other sources before I heard of this from you? This should be earth shattering news. Why was LA allowed to compete even though he was testing positive? Are you suggesting WADA is involved in a conspiracy to cover-up drug use? Is this WADA “conspiracy” theory more “evidence” on your part that LA used illegal PEDs?
“Notice that the margin of victory and number of stage wins has decreased over the years…”
Comment: As someone else said, what does this have to do with anything? What is your point? Simply more innuendo?
“Lance has explanations for all these things. Explanations only go so far. I don’t think I would convict Lance with this evidence but it sure seems enough for a trial.”
Comment: If a prosecutor does not have enough evidence to obtain a conviction, he is wasting taxpayer’s money on a trial. In your own belief and logic paradigm, a not guilty verdict would not prove LA wasn’t cheating or using illegal PEDs just like hundreds of negative drug controls over 13 years of professional competition has not convinced you or your friends that LA was not cheating.
Lastly, the French and Italian governments have both investigated the U.S Postal team and LA with the purpose of exposing cheating and illegal competition and obtaining sufficient evidence to bring charges and obtain a conviction in a court of law. Both governments abandoned their investigations. Why did they do this with so much evidence as you suggest exists? Are they part of the “conspiracy” too?
As one who blindly supports LA, as you suggest I do, I would like to see something more substantial than innuendo, hearsay, and limited circumstantial evidence. I’m sure if you were accused of a crime or your character was besmirched you too, would want something more substantial as evidence as well. Wouldn’t it be nice if both you and LA were held to the same standard for before such accusations were made and charges were filed in court.
Maybe that is why charges haven’t been filed in court against LA. Because there wasn’t sufficient evidence to warrant such charges.
Charges have not been filed yet against you for child abuse and sex crimes. By the same argument you have made against LA, does that mean you are not guilty of such crimes? No it simply means you have so far successfully avoided prosecution for your crimes. Simply stated, you believe an individual is guilty until proven innocent. I think you should stand up to the same legal test.
Why don’t you go looking for some honor and dignity and see if you can get some of it to rub off on you?
Good luck.
