Lance has a point, but then he doesn't.
He questioned the placement of the information that they never saw him dope. The way he makes it sound, the info was buried deep in the story. Now, while it might have been on the jump page, it wasn't buried.
It's eight grafs in. You could argue for higher placement, but you would have the same strong argument for its current placement.
What I might have done (and I've only read it online, I haven't seen the page) would be to use a subhead to say they never saw Lance (and a subhead would work since the headline says "2 Ex-Teammates of Cycling Star Admit Drug Use").
I think a subhead with the "not seeing him" info would work for this since the lede has Lance's name in it and the headline says "Cycling Star."
