1) I believe whistleblower insiders, not industry shills who are on the payroll. That is the difference.
Whistleblowers are NEVER jealous liars. They lose money by speaking out.
2) There are NO DRUG tests for:
hGH, or EuiGen (hormones used by Ausssies at AIS)
EPO is still undetectable (very subjective and expensive analysis, underfunded)
Interlukins, insulin, stimulants taken post sample, testosterone/epitestosterone
reseach drugs (not clinically approved)
designer drugs (cannot be tested until known)
Viagra, vasodilators
And blood is not removed 60 minute prior to a TT effort as that is considered harrassment (yet would catch the illegal stimulants)
Samples can be saved until the cows come home---and since no tests exist, it is just public relation stunt.
A better question is: Why argue with me, why not respect what Don Catlin says? He is the WADA-certified UCLA Lab Directior with a $2,000,000 annual budget for ALL sports.
That includes steroids in NCAA, NFL, Track and cycling.
The testing is a farse.
Quit chasing your tail and get a grasp. Athletes fear housekeepers and policemen, NOT dope control.
The drugs help performance--and are not detectable--so why are you surprised?
Sport is a business, not a Corinthean hobby.
House said:2 questions, try to answer them directly without ad hominum attacks or off-on-a-tangent tirades...for once.
1) If you are inclined to believe "industry insiders" why do always ignore the comments that claim Lance is clean?
2) How do you explain that none of the saved urine or blood of Lance that has been save for the last six years, tested and retested has not come up positive with all of the advances in testing?
