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

All I know is that Tygart guy said this exact thing about not being able to test for transfusions on SVP's show about an hour ago. I have no dog in this fight, but I thought the guy came across as a self righteous dickhead.
