I believe all seven 2nd place finishers tested possitive or admitted they were doping,truth be known you would have to go very far down the list to find a clean rider worthy of those yellow jackets.
The UCI knows there was a doping problem and wants to clean up their athletes and the best scare tactic is to get the best rider of all time.
Hindsight is 20/20 but Armstrong should have admitted to a little off season "injury" doping in the end. It probably would have stopped this little witch hunt by the USADA.
