Roche sees a bigger picture

Stephen Roche has cautioned against finding people “guilty through association” in the wake of the United States Anti-doping Agency’s scathing reporting into Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong refused to co-operate with USADA, who published a 1,000-page report last week which concluded the Texan and his United States Postal Service team ran “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen”.
