So what, lol ?

So providing, for the sake of argument, if they had breaking the rules down better than the competition than that doesn't mean the other team's doping programs were any more legit than were US Postal's. I'm not arguing who had the most talent here because the whole era was tainted and there's no way to really pin it down.

How would Tygart even know what the other team's doping programs were anyway since USADA didn't actually have a decent track record of busting much of anybody in their testing procedures at the time......as Tyler Hamilton points out.

Travis Tygart, btw, gets huge amounts government grant money based on the publicity generated by going after Armstrong so there's a certain amount of justification he has to do for focusing on Armstrong and pretty much ignoring the violations of everyone else.

And USADA is quickly gaining a lack of credibility in the sport of boxing, btw, for allowing fights to take place whereas one of the combatants, on more than one occasion, has tested positive for PEDs. So there are accusations of corruption being leveled against USADA in what is already a poorly and often corruptly regulated sport. Fighters are either asking why they weren't notified that their opponents tested positive or why the decision is left to them to have to cancel lucrative fights when that's a career killer for them to have to make the decision instead of USADA.

Really, Tygart is the last person that gets a clue as to wtf goes on in cycling.
