That "never tested positive" isn't exactly telling the whole truth.

My comment was not that Lance never tested positive but that at one point he was tested over 200 times in one year alone.
I know there was some funny business with the UCI where he supposedly failed a test but they, under pressure, kept it hidden. Again, Lance was a cash cow and the UCI knew it. Sweep it under the rug and move on collecting checks. Maybe, maybe not reaches or reached to the level of Froome puffing his way to a positive twice the limit and he got off with nothing.
