Ahh - so I assume the all the other banned substances Donati believes Lance must have taken in addition to EPO have also shown up in the many many tests Lance has been subjected to? It is not clear the basis on which Doanti qualifies as a "specialist in the fight against doping in sport" nor the information he has to support his opinion on Lance (if he is truly sufficently qualified and experienced to express those opinions).m.indurain said:another interesting interview with Alessandro Donati, a specialist in the fight against doping in sport (he confirmes that armstrong most possibly did not use only EPO):

Alessandro Donati, a specialist in the fight against doping in sport, suggested the performances of the 33-year-old American appear to show he has used a range of banned substances, including anabolic steroids.
He added: "No one could achieve what Armstrong has achieved taking EPO on its own. EPO improves your breathing capacity. But you also need other substances, such as anabolics, testosterone and a lot of others."
I just want to make it clear that I am not pro-Lance or anti-Lance. I just find the witch hunt unfair - there is apprently no presumption of innocence in the Court of public opinion, and there should be - and I would adopt the same approach for anyone else.
