I've lost count. How many of the past 15 TDF titles have been stripped?

I've lost count too. That's why I quit watching.

Lance cheated, but no one will care.

What I find interesting is that Lance could kill off the criminal investigation (presumably through his political connections), but he couldn't stop the USADA. Nor could he stop all his prior "friends" from testifying against him. You can't be a jerk your whole life and expect to have a lot of friends in the end.

It's my understanding that the USADA has no authority to strip any TDF titles. Am I mistaken in this?

Unless I'm mistaken(and correct me if I am), the others were due to positive drug tests. Now how again is this different from Lance's situation?

Hincapie. Repeat this name three times.

That's the man that was about to devastate Armstrong.

If Hincapie says that Lance doped, it would be more devastating than a positive test.

Indurain understands it. We don't know what the testimony and how it was obtained. I understand why a person would not pursue somebody with a vendetta and an open check book.

Mike and I simply disagree. Mike trust government inherently to do the right thing and that all its representations are accurate. I disagree. I also understand why these many years, Lance would not waste any more money fighting the endless, meaningless battle. Mike remains idealistic that chasing windmills matter.

Yup.

According to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, 11 of Armstrong's teammates testified against him.
