YES.
It does suck for the second place rider. Just as bad as it does for the rest of the competitors. Plain and simple…he could not be proven guilty in 10? years.
After that many years of litigation I would give the yellow jersey back immediately after wiping my ass with it.
They grasped at straws long enough to have Armstrong throw his hands up and walk away. Nothing else.
I’ve been watching the Tour de France for many years…Armstrongs domination ranks right up there with the Jordan/Pippen days with the Chicago Bulls.
This year was EASILY the worst Tour I’ve seen. I’ve never seen such a pile of spineless followers in my life.
