I read the 200 page summary. I'd say 80% percent of the evidence against Lance is by testimony, 7.5% by email exchanges and other online documents, 7.5% by bank records, and only 5% physical and tangible evidence such as blood and urine samples. When you take that 5% of evidence, it still only proves that Lance used EPO for '99 Tour, doped for 2001 Tour de Suisse, and blood doped in his 2009-2010 comeback. That's it. Still leaves him with 6 tour titles.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an idiot, I definitely think Lance doped from '99 on though. To have 20+ witnesses all corroborating the same stories would have to be the biggest conspiracy of all time for it not to be real.
Not only positive tests constitute a doping violation. Lance was sanctioned for:
(1) Use and/or attempted use of prohibited substances and/or methods including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents.
(2) Possession of prohibited substances and/or methods including EPO, blood transfusions and related equipment (such as needles, blood bags, storage containers and other transfusion equipment and blood parameters measuring devices), testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents.
(3) Trafficking of EPO, testosterone, and corticosteroids.
(4) Administration and/or attempted administration to others of EPO, testosterone, and cortisone.
(5) Assisting, encouraging, aiding, abetting, covering up and other complicity involving one or more anti-doping rule violations and/or attempted anti-doping rule violations.
On the report there is conclusive evidence that supports all those 5 doping violations.
