>>1195037During the Lance years, everyone was doping so fucking much that they can't declare a winner without it being someone who was picked up by the broom van.
Anyway, the hunt to get Lance undertaken with the full knowledge that it would destroy the sport in the US, which is why everyone was getting in the way of the investigation. Eventually, everyone got fed up with Lance being a dick, so they cut their losses and threw him to the wolves. The cycling industry doesn't really need to push road cycling in the US, anyway, since they make way more money with MTB here anyway.
The best part is that Tygart was instrumental in covering up rampant systemic sexual abuse of teen and preteen female swimmers by their coaches, which is why he got his position at the head of USADA. Funny, ain't it? Lance, whose only sins were doing what everyone else was doing and being a total asshole, was brought down by someone who runs cover for pedophile rapists.
