Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction...
One, it's completely impossible.
Two, it's possible, but it's not worth doing.
Three, I said it was a good idea all along.

So
Lance didn't cheat - but EVERYONE and I do mean EVERYONE him

George released this statement this morning:

George
Hincapie admitted to doping over his workman-like career on
Wednesday and confirmed, however tacitly, that he gave
information against his former captain and friend, Lance
Armstrong, to federal and U.S. Anti-Doping Agency
investigators in the process.
“It is
extremely difficult today to acknowledge that during a part
of my career I used banned substances. Early in my
professional career, it became clear to me that, given the
widespread use of performance enhancing drugs by cyclists at
the top of the profession, it was not possible to compete at
the highest level without them. I deeply regret that choice
and sincerely apologize to my family, teammates and fans,”
Hincapie said in a statement released Wednesday morning, in
conjunction with USADA CEO Travis Tygart’s letter detailing
the agency’s looming report against Armstrong. Tygart also
revealed the names of former Armstrong teammates that
cooperated with the investigation, which included Hincapie.

Three years ago, I
was approached by U.S. federal investigators, and more
recently by USADA, and asked to tell of my personal
experience in these matters. I would have been much more
comfortable talking only about myself, but understood that I
was obligated to tell the truth about everything I knew. So
that is what I did,” Hincapie said.

It's a Sad Day!
