Vicious Cycle it is!

Her's a an excerpt from the transcript of Lance Armstrong's interview on CNN:

ARMSTRONG: ARMSTRONG: Our defense when we look at this thing and we say -- and I guess I try to ask people to sit in my seat and say, "OK, you know, a guy in a French -- in a Parisian laboratory opens up your sample, you know, Jean-Francois so and so, and he tests it. Nobody's there to observe. No protocol was followed. And then you get a phone call from a newspaper that says we found you to be positive six times for EPO."

This speaks for itself, doesn't it?
