That sounds good. And it is certainly the USADA's line. But it is not true...
Lance simply gave up fighting against an unbeatable foe. The USADA is clearly out to get him and they have virtually unlimited resources and unlimited funding. NOBODY could defend themselves against that and would be foolish to spend time and money trying...
Say what you will against him, but Lance is not a fool...
