    Brits don't dope?

    I don't often post here, took me year to even register, but I wonder if we are beginning to reach some sort of agreement?

    Brits don't dope?

    USADA - Armstrong

    Hi all, As they say - Long time lurker, first time poster...but there are a couple of things bugging me which I hope someone can answer, as my knowledge of the finer points of the anti-doping process is limited: Let's assume all goes in USADA's favour, and they find LA guilty of a doping...
