The Fed just finished a probe on him, and he was acquitted. You mean to tell me the USADA had a sample the was "Fully consistent with blood doping" yet noone else has been able to come up with this?

They have had the better part of a decade to make accusations against Lance. At some point, you have to say this is just a witch hunt.

He's been found guilty of doping by an agency that didn't even exist when he won some of his yellow jerseys. At the same time the agency that oversees the sport of cycling has found no evidence to proceed with any further investigation.

From my understanding the USADA's main evidence is the testimony of other cyclists, who have all been found to have doped. They failed the same drug tests that Lance never failed.

Did he dope? Maybe.
Is he a jerk? I've read that he is a total a-hole.
Is he stupid for dumping Sheryl Crow? Yup

Nonetheless, the method by which USADA has arrived at their ruling really bothers me. Any other professional cyclist would be ruined at this point if they didn't have Lance's cash flow, yet there is still no evidence that he doped.
