I'm beginning to feel sorry for Lance Armstrong and this ridiculous witch hunt. Innocent until proven guilty, and to prove someone guilty you need the evidence. Where is the pee filled cup that proves without any measure of reasonable doubt that he doped!

Sure it is likely he did, it's probably likely - as i have always said - that he took extra doses of EPO under the guise of his cancer treatments.

In any case the none of the above matters, the fact remains that unless there is hard evidence - in the form of a sample - any number of people can say he doped or have claimed to have seen him dope, if you cannot prove it then he didn't.

    You're an..... if you think that.


    Seriously.

    Have you actually seen any of the evidence? Beyond what he himself is saying...

    With politeness someone did challenge (the great) DDD to stick the post in Pro Race as well though - until I see the evidence I presume him innocent.....

    This is exactly why Lance decided to not contest the charges.. so people like you can continue to protest his innocence as there wasn't a 'trial'

    If people still want to believe in him, then they can go ahead as far as I'm concerned. Billions of people still believe in God, which I find ludicrous, but I don't spend my day calling them idiots.

    They seem the same to me. Both are beliefs flying in the face of common sense.

    If people want to believe something but generally keep it to themselves, then let them get on with it.

    This thread was started either as/because of:

    1. A trolling attempt.
    2. Someone can't/is unwilling to read much more than Lance's statements and viewpoints, certainly not enough to educate themselves properly on the topic.
    3. Being thick.

    Despite his PR press release he (LA) has in effect pleaded "No contest" which means he's been caught bang to rights. Bring on the ban.

    Where is the positive sample that proves he doped?

    You get found guilty on the basis of evidence not conjecture.

    I do not believe Contador willfully doped, he was suspended from professional racing because he had a banned substance in his system, not enough to enhance performance but banned nonetheless.

    If Lance had produce a positive sample - that wasn't exempt due to his cancer treatments - then why has it taken this long for any 'authority' to reveal/produce it?

    Why are you so hung up on the tests?

    We know from other athletes the tests don't prove anything.

    & further to Rick's post there were positive tests. EPO, corticosteroid and possibly one at the tour de Suisse.
    You might want to check your understanding of evidence too...

    Until someone holds up the pee-filled-cup with positive written across it I have no reason to say that he doped.

    If he did and there was evidence then why has he yet to be banned/suspended ala Contador?

    He is banned.

    Have you seen Contador's pee filled cup?

    I take it Millar, Pantani and The Chicken are all innocent too?

    It's also where the conspiracy part of the charges come in.
