The UCI disputed the claims of a positive test and, as Armstrong keeps
pointing out, he never has been cited for failing a drug test.

*********************
What we don't know is if those words came from the author or the
Armstrong camp. Regardless, they are a big change from "I've never
tested positive." to "never been cited for failing a drug test".

I think we're making way too much of minor grammatical changes.

What do people really care about, beyond the obvioius?

"Did Lance dope during the 7 years he won the Tour de France?"

Of course, that question may never be answered. Instead, we may (and there's
no certainty of this, despite B Lafferty's assertions) get the answer to
"Will Lance be convicted of doping, or proven innocent, in court?" Never
mind the semantics of "proven" innocent. It's just the way the system works,
as far as I know.

The WSJ writers who first broke this story were the first ones to make
that distinction in writing. And it's the only correct one because Lance
failed all those EPO tests in the '99 Tour de France. Lance was taking
more EPO than Jeanson.

Thanks,

Dude,

That question was already answered and the answer is: YES.

Thanks,

And there will be no defamation law suits emanating from Armstrong & Co.
