Eh? No he wasn't.
Plenty of people got collared before LA even went on OW to confess. And if you look at the ascent times for the key mountain stages over the last few years you'll see that there's virtually no difference. In some instances they are riding faster now.
Nutrition, training and technology have all improved massively since the US Postal years, but some GC riders are all still doping IMHO. Micro-dosing and the use of new, as yet undetected, PEDs still goes on.
