So Lance Armstrong may have cheated, just like everybody else.

Or maybe he gave up the fight because the whole thing was more crooked than San Francisco’s Lombard St. After all, USADA convicted him on hearsay, not proof. They don’t have a single failed sample to hang their hats on — Armstrong has never failed one — so they took the word of riders like self-admitted liar Floyd Landis. The whole thing, all their evidence, is based on testimony, not tests.
