San Francisco Columnist Calls Armstrong "Teflon Doper"

A San Francisco Chronicle columnist compares Lance Armstrong to Barry Bonds and wonders why Bonds has never been invited to the president's ranch.

"Bonds and Armstrong have too much in common for them to be treated so differently. Either both should be presumed clean and accorded full admiration for their athletic accomplishments, or both should be presumed highly suspicious superstars in a doped-up sports world."

Of course, unlike Bonds, Armstrong has never admitted to a federal grand jury that he used BALCO's "the clear" and "the cream"--or any illegal performance-enhancing substance.
