The principle of SoL is to protect the defendant, so that they are not put in a situation where they are prosecuted for an offence that is so long ago that their own recollection of it is poor, never mind their ability to gather evidence to defend themselves.
As for Indurain, he was never mid pack fodder. He won Paris-Nice twice and a stage in the Tour before the EPO era kicked in. What it did was enable him to climb with the best, which was astonishing given his racing weight was around the 80 kg mark.
