Lance is over and done with so I don't understand the witch hunts. Catch the new guys. We've moved on. So should these organizations. Or maybe they can't catch the new guys out of ineptness so they keep referring back to the older ones.

I see doping as a form of cowardness. Be a man and win because of your own ability and skills, not from drugs that have been banned.
I think the doctors involved are precisely the issue. There are many suspected of "helping" athletes dope and they are still active. If you prove specific athletes, retired or not, doped with their help, these doctors can also be convicted and banned from practice. The USADA is collaborating with the Italian Cycling Federation on the Ferrari case (see the Cycling News article). As you can imagine, doctors and athletes hide their tracks very well, establishing shell companies in different countries to receive payments. The forensic accounting cannot be easy.
