First of all, What proof do you have that the rest of the world hasn't seen proving unconditionally that Lance doped? Tell me where your smoking bullet is and I'll believe it. Trust but verify right? Let's not forget that Lance was tested on a very regular basis, during the on and off season and never once popped a positive. And let's not forget who his main accuser is: L'equipe, the French magazine that happens to own a steak in the testing lab that ASO uses during the Tour de France.

It is true that some types of performance enhancing supplements like steroids can increase the rate of tumors, but anabolic steroids are NOT something that Lance was accused of using. EPO, (the drug he was accused of using in 1999) thickens the blood, increasing hemocrit to dangerous levels causing problems with heart function, that is why it's unsafe. From what I have read it's other side affects are not "tumor causing" or "tumor enhancing".

Edit:
No, the testing lab is made of cow meat. they own a steak!

sorry. yea, stake.
