Cleanup USADA/WADA

Your article is a rare exception in the see of negativity that surrounds this issue (thank you for that). In the US sport media most commentaries assume in advance that Lance Armstrong doped despite the fact that he passed hundreds of tests. None positive. They do that because it is more sensational to write about possibility that he doped then that he didn't. Sells well. Also, for some people it is unbelievable that a cyclist could win without doping seven Tour De France titles, the Tour being one of the most testing and physically demanding sport events. So, that disbelieve is really emotionally driving the whole anti-Armstrong movement now. Is it then surprising that in that worldview, in order to be proven, their tactics violates due process? Statue of limitations not applying, evidence not presented to the accused, unresolved jurisdiction issues, presumption of guilt, not to mention that evidence gathering could a bunch of lies. USADA/WADA should be challenged, not Lance Armstrong, because this is basic public liberties issue, and I don't want them to "clean up" sports their way. Hopefully, the Judge in Texas will see through that and act appropriately.
