Yes, but that unbelievable account of Floyd's wasn't written by a respected writer like Dan Coyle who says he verified it with nine other riders.
Anyone can claim they've seen cetain things, blah blah, blah.
But no one can claim they've seen certain things and have it consistently verified with many others, unless they actually saw those things.
Lance passed all his drug tests and that's good enough with me.
That's a ridiculously low standard. Is the fact that Marion Jones passed hundreds of drugs tests without ever failing one good enough for you? How about Jan Ullrich doing the same thing?
Never mind that Armstrong did fail several drugs tests, but "managed" to not be sanctioned for them one way or another. The UCI's role is protecting Armstrong is a big part of this story.
