23. It's not only testimony
Wed Oct 10, 2012, 01:27 PM
Oct 2012

of 23 witnesses but documentary evidence as well.

"The evidence also includes direct documentary evidence including financial payments, emails, scientific data and laboratory test results that further prove the use, possession and distribution of performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong and confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding,"

It was a massive cover up.

That Armstrong passed drug tests means nothing.
