Riding Solo?

Dan Empfield wonders why Lance Armstrong is being forced to stand alone against these EPO accusations. Where are USA Cycling, the UCI, the World Anti-Doping Agency?
    "I'm stunned by the lack of inquiry by those who fashion themselves the vanguard in our fight against performance enhancing drugs in sport. Lance may be guilty and he may be clean, but there is one thing for sure: He is alone. Few or none in the machinery of sport are weighing in on the behalf of process, as one of its athletes twists in the wind."
Later: USA Cycling has come around to Empfield's way of thinking.
