Lance Armstrong Smear Job

This is the kind of trash that gives sports writers a bad name. Trafficking in pure rumors and innuendos with little basis in fact is E.M. Swift.

Is the truth finally catching up with Lance Armstrong, and is this one race the seven-time Tour de France champion may not be able to win?

He cannot win because of smear-meisters just like you.

...in their sworn testimony the Andreus said that when they visited Armstrong in the hospital after he'd been diagnosed with testicular cancer, they'd heard him tell his oncologists that he'd used "steroids, testosterone, cortisone, growth hormone and EPO." Their testimony was disputed by the doctor who administered Armstrong's chemotherapy at Indiana University Medical Center. In the same trial, Armstrong testified that his doctors never asked him if he'd used performance-enhancing drugs, and that he'd never used those substances. Which testimony is more credible? The Andreus' or Armstrong's? Ask yourself which party had the most to gain by lying. And why is that particular testimony significant? Because one of the possible side effects of prolonged steroid use is testicular cancer.

Of course, in the very next sentence. Swift admits it is impossible to prove!

It's impossible to prove

And you know what, Armstrong won that lawsuit. So, the truth is on his side. He has passed every single drug test he has ever taken. And yet, people like Swift continue:

Here's the thing about truth: It may take a while. It may take years. But truth's a tenacious battler. Eventually it will come out.

You know what. Leave Lance Armstrong alone. Swift is a small person who is envious of the champion Lance will always be. Swift will never be anything.
