It appears that the statement issued by Hincapie denying the 60 Minutes allegations has not been read by this forum.

In response to the article, Hincapie said, "I have no idea where they got their information."

He added, "I can confirm to you I never spoke with '60 Minutes'."

60 Minutes is not a credible venue of journalism. They have been caught lying and editing footage and using suspect sources for their stories in the past.

On the other hand, Hincapie's statements do not mean he didn't testify that he and Lance doped; only that he did not talk to 60 Minutes. When Landis made allegations against Hincapie, George denied them.

The federal investigation is likely to continue for years with the prosecutor hoping to catch someone lying so they can bust them for perjury. That will most likely be the only outcome of this investigation. If somebody had real concrete evidence against Lance or George or anybody else, they would've have produced it by now.

(personally, I believe doping is rampant and that more testing and a lifetime ban for time offenders is needed. Watching Contador destroying his competitors in the Giro this year, I want to ask him how many steaks he ate the night before.)
