Lance not allowed to swim in masters competition

USMS has had other swimmers competing that previously had been busted for drugs. Angel Martino and Vlad Pleshenko come to mind. But they weren't CURRENTLY serving bans were they? That's the big part of this, Lance Armstrong is currently serving a lifetime ban, he had the opportunity to show his innocence or give mitigating factors or cooperate all in an attempt to reduce the lifetime ban, he declined to do any of those things. This is simple, he is serving a lifetime ban from usada, he shouldn't be a member.
