I WAS shocked. Completely shocked. Guess there was more trust in the sport back then.
However, looking back, we should only be shocked that he tested positive. Why? Lance never failed a test, right?
And Ben had been doing this for years supposedly. So why a positive test for Ben out of the blue?

I think the trainers back then were shocked he tested positive.
Yes, he was using, but he should have tested negative just like Lance and all the other cheats.
It all makes me believe what Moore says in his book (see above) that Ben probably was set up.
What's the real story behind the positive in Seoul? That's the compelling story, right?
Ben did wrong, but he fessed up. He can be forgiven now.
