I mean, once it looks like Lance will take a serious run at Kona, beating Chris Leito in Hawaii, as well as the timing of Ironman France close to the Tour De France, someone really has a beef. <br /><br />Yeah, Lance has an ego. But, keeping in mind all of his commitments, businesses, as well as trying to put a spotlight on Cancer through his foundation, he would really have to be stupid to jeopardize all of that (even in the years under question). Has nothing to gain, everything to loose.<br /><br />I wonder what relationship Big Tobacco has with the USADA (The Lance Armstrong Foundation funded prop 29).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732421097248866481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-29759284126617867192012-06-14T11:46:37.778-07:002012-06-14T11:46:37.778-07:00Then double BS.

Go over the line and you're cheating.<br /><br />But to change the rules down the road is cheating itself. If they couldn't adequately test for certain substances at certain levels before, then why did they have that criteria in the first place?Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376446409534942024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-78691568802088804762012-06-14T07:26:08.818-07:002012-06-14T07:26:08.818-07:00All samples are kept by ADA's in order that th...All samples are kept by ADA's in order that they can be re-tested in light of new technology allowing detection of previously undetected substances.Daviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861644884461804956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-19750698905800085972012-06-14T05:20:50.582-07:002012-06-14T05:20:50.582-07:00Why have blood samples from years ago just been si...Why have blood samples from years ago just been sitting around untested?
