I'm sure that is it. They got 15 teammates to all lie about Armstrong. They created bogus emails, bogus receipts and made 11 other people lied. Armstrong decided not to fight this huge conspiracy and try to save his name but instead allowed all this bogus testimony and evidence be unchallenged because it a fight he couldn't win. Even the best lawyers in America are unable to debunk a case that involves a conspiracy with 26 lying people and bogus documents.
That must be the case . . . or, maybe this is a possibility:
Hincapie's statement acknowledged that he had cheated.
"Early in my professional career, it became clear to me that, given the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs by cyclists at the top of the profession, it was not possible to compete at the highest level without them. I deeply regret that choice and sincerely apologize to my family, teammates and fans," Hincapie wrote.
What I find appalling is Lance is so self involved he will continue to call his ex-teamamtes and friends liars and paint then just as you have because he can't admit to what he did.
