While I agree with most of what you said, the FDA has no choice but to be investigating the matter.

From another piece:
Drugs in clinical trials are supposed to be tightly controlled. So it’s troubling to think that an athlete might somehow gain access to a product that’s not approved for human use, that’s purely experimental. But that is exactly what SI alleges Armstrong did.
I don’t know what kind of evidence they have to back that assertion up, but this story has been rumored to be in the works for weeks and has no doubt been subject to exhaustive fact-checking. SI is also owned by Time Warner, a company that Armstrong could own if they get this wrong. That’s the stakes here.

Why, goes one of Fabiani’s best lines, is the FDA of all people interested in some European bike races from a decade ago?
Well, the response now goes, because one of the most famous sportsmen of the last half-century stands accused of buying stocks of a tightly controlled investigational drug – manufactured by an American pharmaceutical company and intended for use only in clinical trial settings under the regulation of the FDA or its European counterparts and which is illegal to use for any other purpose, or even for a private citizen to possess, much less transport internationally – to pull off a monumental sporting fraud.
