Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

Armstrong is currently under investigation by the Federal Drug Administration (the FDA) in the USA, and the investigation is being led by Jeff Novitzsky, who was the lead investigator on the BALKI investigation.

That was a tough one that required a super sleuth for sure.

Armstrong consistenly cites the fact that he never failed a test, but convicted dopers like Ivan Basso, Jan Ullrich et al never failed tests either,
Was Ullrich convicted? I thought he settled out of court. Mind you, there is obviously a lot of evidence against him, but from memory, he wasn't actually convicted. I may be wrong, though. He did recently lose a retrial about an injunction he took out against Werner Franke, but his legal saga is so convoluted that I've completely lost track of where he's at.
