How could someone not doping completely dominate an era rife with it, even after a bout with testicular cancer (a known side effect of steroid abuse)? What kind of superhuman am I expected to believe he is? I know that is not proof, but it does stretch the bounds of plausibility. With all the patriotic fist-pumping Armstrong generates though (in both directions) I doubt anyone ever gets to the bottom of it, or that there will be any uniform public reaction if they do.
I'm not sure his contracting cancer does offer that much proof.
But yes, the fact that he was able to beat the best cyclists in the world 7 years in a row in the Tour while the majority of them were doping is clearly suspicious. More so when you combine it with so many of his former team mates having been caught/ admitted doping.

And this is why doping must be vigorously and strictly punished.
