Lance did get caught once, early on for cortizone. UCI let him off with a post-dated prescription for cream for saddle sores. BS. Never mind that cortizone in creams do not show in your blood. Later, an out of competition tester shower up at Armstrong's quarters. It took him an hour to come out of the bathroom and let the tester in. Plenty of time for an intravenous dilute. That "never tested positive" isn't exactly telling the whole truth.
