The whole thing just seems like a witch hunt.

The tests that were done does not detect blood transfusion doping which Lance was doing along with many other cyclists.

again, so what.

let's go crack open some old lemond blood or fignon or merckx.

just because there are new tests to blood that is still sitting around in labs doesn't have anything to do with what was tested for back then.

if this is the case, lets just keep everyone's freaking blood forever and continue to test it until we've effectively discovered the entire peloton was doping in one form or other.

Not true. They tested for a red blood cell count, and if the count was too high, you failed the test EVEN IF YOU HADN'T USED EPO. It was actually possible to fail the test without doing the drugs, and the Anti-Doping Commission essentially said, "Well, tough shite."

Besides, US athletes occassionally admit to blood doping because it's not against the rules in most US sports.
