Lance Armstrong decides to stop defending his case against the US Anti-Drugs Agency.
Whether he did or didn't, never once in his career did he fail a test, a 2 year US Federal investigation never found evidence, and yet a person' reputation can be hung out to dry on unsubstantiated allegations.
However, the world is quite happy for someone who did fail doping tests to win Gold this year.
Apparently it's OK for the UKADA to offer immunity to other if they testify against Armstrong, yet he's not allowed to see that evidence in order to be able to mount a defence to it. If you read some of the background to other allegations made about Armstrong, you'd laugh.
I don't know whether he did or didn't - it was rife at the time - but surely there is no room for conjecture and rumour.
