No idea how far the Armstrong case could go in the U.S., but if it was proven that doping was going on at US Pystol from 1998 to 2005, then Ekimov and Armstrong could get stripped of their Olympic titles and podiums as well.
No idea if it's going to happen, but that'd be some fun.  |

Well ... if you start no connect the dots. In the end the true champion of that race is Michal Hrazdira. |

If that was to happen, then the following active riders could be in bother:
Julian Dean
George Hincapie
Christian Vande Velde
Tom Boonen
Levi Leipheimer
Victor Hugo Pena Grisales
David Zabriskie
Michael Barry
Stijn Devolder
Ryder Hesjedal
Jonathan Patrick McCarty
Benjamin Noval Gonzalez
Daniel Rincon Quintana
Jurgen Van Den Broeck
Fumiyuki Beppu
Volodymyr Bileka
Janez Brajkovic
Michael Creed
Tom Danielson
Leif Hoste
Jason McCartney
Yaroslav Popovych
Hayden Roulston
Some big names there, who would be taken down if team wide doping was proven. |

No, USP/DSC riders must be under investigation, and subject to the testimonies of witnesses and former fellow riders. This is not case for most other professionals. |

I'm no expert, but I somehow doubt the entire team was part of the doping program.
How hard can it be?

LEts hope Hesjedal wasn't then. He was hardly used as anything but a breakaway rider and couldn't even finish the Giro, and not finishing a GT is a clear sign of being clean
I dont know what that suggests if he's won the Giro now though....

Hesjedal did a fine job in 2010 Tour. Last year he was allright too. I think it was a suprise in the Giro but I don't believe he doped.. |

I doubt that too. It was probably only Armstrong's closest team-mates that were involved. Read that as in the Tour de France team.

H4e made key progress as a top mtn domestique in 08-09 for Vande Velde, had a great tour in ten and another good year in 2011. He was put in front by the TTT and held up because he wasn't totally marked the first 2 weeks. I don't think (I hope so too) he doped.

I have a sneaky plan to get myself into the Tour de France and then plant evidence on all the other riders.
Moahaha.
