The same grand jury that didn't find enough evidence in the case, which is why federal prosecutors dropped the case earlier this year.

So what makes you think that those witnesses' testimony would have been so devastating now?

Also, show me an official pre or post race test that was positive. Oh, wait, neither you nor anybody else can.

And again, you're basing most of your opinion on the fact that he won. OMG, somebody who has had testicular cancer can't, just can't win the Tour unless they were cheating.

Seriously, your quote from the prosecutor doesn't contradict what I'm saying in any way at all. DanTex Aug 2012 #36

So in other words, no, you have bupkis, no facts whatsoever MadHound Aug 2012 #37

But you're the one trying to put words in the prosecutor's mouth. DanTex Aug 2012 #39

I'm quoting the prosecutor, MadHound Aug 2012 #40

Yes, but, again, the quote from the prosecutor doesn't support your case at all. DanTex Aug 2012 #42
