We can speculate until the cows come home as to what methods are being used, no one knows. However, anyone suggesting that if there was doping going on then they would have been popped by now hasn’t been paying attention. History shows us that Armstrong wasn’t lanced because he was caught doping via a test, but because someone blabbed and kept blabbing until others blabbed and eventually the whole house cards came tumbling down, aided and abetted by a few decent and indefatigably curious journalists whose experience told them Armstrong’s performances failed the credulity test. Armstrong was ultimately undone by hubris, and by the fact that he treated people appallingly. That’s a total recipe for disaster no matter how ruthless and well resourced you are. Because of course, he had already been caught out in a test only to make that test go away by bunging the UCI a substantial amount of money. He corrupted the governing body and made them his ***, and they allowed themselves to be corrupted because Armstrong was a good news story, the poster boy for the sport, a worldwide superstar (ten times the star than Pogacar is currently) who transcended and transformed the sport and made it bigger then ever. Hence the comment about not spitting in the soup. It was a huge bowl that everyone was supping from and getting fat on. If anyone thinks that couldn’t happen today well, I think, like so many people back then, they’re rejecting the evidence of their eyes and ears.
