Never heard of them before. Now that they are going after Lance Armstrong, they made the TV news. Armstrong retired from bike racing some years ago. Armstrong has denounced them as a spite motivated witch hunt. Since USADA has no legal powers, it's a trial by public relations. Armstrong is a household name, and always looked like a regular guy. USADA is a no body and will need the strongest of evidence to win their case. It will be hard for them to convince me that lab work on blood samples three years old means anything.
It also depends upon how the media feel about Lance Armstrong. If they decide they don't like him, they will slant stories against him, which creates a powerful headwind.
