Are we really supposed to believe that he came back to the sport for a last surge, knowing he would be under intense scrutiny due to his position, only to fill himself full of drugs?
Leaving aside for the moment that Lance was tested at every possible chance and never found to be doping, I just don't think he would do it. He had too much to lose, and not just personally; he seems to be doing it more for the charity and the exposure now than for cash, so the risks involved in cheating are way too high.
Sure, there may have been medicines and treatments going on that pushed up to the rules, but that's sport. F1 teams go as close to the rules as possible, then the rules change and so do their strategies - it's all part of the game.
