The goodsmith and I swam with Lance's sports agent / manager Bill Stapleton.

I've never seen any without a doubt proof to support these allegations
Anytime anyone becomes the best in the sports world at anything, they become a target.

It seems like every year Lance has been accused of doping in some way. I highly doubt it's anything more than jealous mudslinging. Even if he was doping - it's not like doping guarantees that you'll win something like the Tour, especially in a sport where other people are doping as well!
The paper that reported on Lance's 99 results also stated," Never has a champion's retirment ever been so welcome" after this years Tour.
I'm sorry, but I just find it very, very odd how this paper has basically been running around behing Lance accumssing him of doping for the past few years.
Never have they had any proof.
If this drug that Lance supposedly had in his urine sample from 99 has been detectable for the past 4 years why are they only now testing these samples?
I would think they'd have done it. . . oh I don't know. . . .2001!
This whole stopry sounds very suspicious to me.

L'Equipe has had it out for Lance for many years.
That is the part that bugs me. If LA proves innocent of these charges, and passes drug tests from now to kingdom come, how much do you want to bet that L'Equipe will continue to sling drug rumors (because no one can be that good...).

It just means our drug testing trails the technology of the developer.
Alternatively, it could always mean the person isn't cheating.
I will add to this what *** Pound of the WADA said after the World Swimming Championships in Montreal after no one tested positive for banned substances. "If you haven't tested positive, that only means you haven't tested positive. It would also be naive to think everyone is clean."
Also Mustapha Larfaoui of FINA says "We are in a struggle that's impossible to win. Were going to win some struggles but were not going to win the war. Can we ensure total cleanliness? No, I cannot committ to that."
I was just over at the FINA site trying to find out information on membership. The site is under construction so I could not get information about dual masters memberships. I e-mailed them and they told me they are doing major revisions on doping procedures and testing and until that gets finished the site is under construction. I wonder what the new doping news is.
