It is probably naive to think Armstrong wasn't doping, when everyone else on the tour was doing it. How do you go from surviving cancer to dominating a race where
everyone is doping? His main rival Ulrich was caught doping (and is still allowed to race!). Didn't Armstrong's assistant say Lance's room was full of syringes?
Pound said he hadn't received the report yet but, based on what he had read in news accounts, was critical of Vrijman's findings.
''It's clearly everything we feared. There was no interest in determining whether the samples Armstrong provided were positive or not,'' he told The Associated Press by telephone from Montreal.
''Whether the samples were positive or not, I don't know how a Dutch lawyer with no expertise came to a conclusion that one of the leading laboratories in the world messed up on the analysis. To say Armstrong is totally exonerated seems strange,'' Pound said.

Allegations by former Armstrong assistant Emma O'Reilly, who once reportedly worked as Armstrong's personal assistant, physical therapist and masseuse. The book stated Armstrong asked O'Reilly to dispose of used syringes and lend him makeup to hide the needle marks on his arms.
