The easy conclusion is that his form is medially enhanced, but there is no proof.
As for LA being targetted because he is 'American'.. is..sorry Joe, bollocks.
He is being targetted because he is Lance Armstrong, so successful, and dominating in this era of 'cleaner' cycling.
He gets tested more often during the Tour, first three stage finishers, first three in GC and random are tested everyday....so LA is usually in that pool...
He has a medical history that does illustrate something out of the ordinary in his condition...and its far easier to suppose is enhancement than physiology. I hope he does win and that he is not stitched up...I don't believe he is doping.. but others' bias..on both sides of the water is likely to cloud the view.

Then what living creature can be critical of LA if one needs at least 7 Tour wins to critique? Armstrong, Woods, Beckham, Bryant, Ruth, Marilyn Monroe
; for all their great achievements, are/were merely human, damn talented humans for sure, but not gods.
