Studies need to be made concerning hemtocrit testing. I read a article written by someone explaining how some people could have high hemtocrit readings without cheating. . I wish I would have saved that article. When I read this article I felt the author had the perspective of someone who wanted to know the truth.
Let's hope someday we do not find out that the testing has treated some athletes unfairly. I am not condoning cheating. But sports need to eliminate the politics of it. And politics are a major component in the search for the truth in this issue.
But the outrage expressed towards Museeuw needs to be spread out among the other convicted cheaters that we worship.

Armstrong ........ This has been re-hashed to the ground.
Heras..... This one confuses me.
