Like most on this site your a little off. USADA was on the hunt for Armstrong since 1999 when his urine tested positive for a band substance. Armstrong's team provided a doctors note of sorts to clear him. That same sample was re-tested in 2005 and found existence of other band substances but the tests were completed with out following proper protocol, so Armstrong was in the clear again. The people who were willing to testify did finally brake Armstrong and is definitely why he caved, but USADA knew and were trying to get him. Blood Doping and HGH are among the most difficult if not the most difficult forms of PED use to find; add the fact that his doctors were in on it, yes it's absolutely impressive that USADA eventually caught him.
