I doubt (insert large UK charity name) gives anywhere near 100% to the causes that they banner.
I'm quite sure there is a lot of abuse of charity status, livestrong could well be one of them.

http://fakecharities.org/ seem to look into a few but it's about lobbying rather than financial records i think (no idea how accurate they are just read a couple of pages a few years back)

Its progress now could you learn that they did not all cheat?
It may have been the majority but it was certainly not them all

According to Tylers book (make of this what you will) The 2005 French national doping testing labs retrospective study of the 1999 tour Lance tested positive from samples for Stages 1,9,10,12, and 14.

These are the positives Lance claimed to be tampered with. Countered by Dr Micheal Ashenden stating that tampering would be beyond astronomical.

Of the other 81 samples from the rest of the peleton 7 tested positive 8.6%

Hora were they all doing blood transfusion too? (Not even all of the US Postal team were according to Tyler)

I think the people dumping their Livestrong stuff are the people who thought he was clean. It's probably as much of purging themselves of the realisation of how monumentally taken in they were as showing they're nothing to do with him.

Hilarious. How can you say that everyone was doping when its clear that they weren't though? Few were on as much stuff as Larry.

So you are now saying only a select few were? Or shall we just assume that more were but kept quiet as they were never caught? Remember George admitted and he never tested positive...

Why shoot yourself if you got off scott-free?

Only a select few seem to have been doing transfusions. As I've said, not all of LA's team were. Sure loafs of them were, but the likes of Evans have never been linked to anything dodgy, and he was up against LA-is it fair that LA cheated him out of a probable two tour victories?

Its ok they all cheated. He was just the best at cheating.

Apart from the ones that weren't cheating who he bullied and hounded out of the sport.

I can't believe you're [i]still[/i] trying to defend him - ridiculous.

Given that you can't prove a negative, it's impossible for anyone to prove they haven't doped. So no one really knows, you just decide if you want to take someone's word that they're clean.
