Big big names have been caught and suspended. Guys like a Pantani, Ulrich, Contador, Zulle, Landis, Hamilton....the list goes on and on
Now it begs the question, why no other multiple winner has been pursued like Lance? No one questions Indurain's accomplishment. Is it because he's european? I can't say....I know LeMond has never been accused of doping and was buried by the media as being jealous and spiteful when he did dare question Lance's record.
To me, Hincapie is the smoking gun. I cannot fathom why he of all people would point the finger at Lance. Unless, of course, he is telling the truth.

Because he is the only american cyclist the average yank has any knowledge of and is being persued by an american agency out to prove they are a player in the sports world, no one in the US would give a crap if they proved Indurian was doping (he was, and was caught), in fact I doubt most would even know who he was, Armstrong though is a scalp worth having.
