Floyd Landis accuses Lance Armstrong of doping
Posted Byi steroids
In a series of detailed emails sent by Floyd Landis, the former team-mate of Lance Armstrong, Landis accused Armstrong of making use of performance boosting drugs.
Landis sent an email to Stephen Johnson, the president of USA Cycling, alleging that Johan Bruyneel, Armstrong’s team director since 1999, told him how to make use of steroid patches, human growth hormone, and blood doping without getting detected.
From Guardian.co.uk:
In emails sent to seven cycling officials, Landis is reported to have admitted using the banned blood booster Erythropoietin (EPO), as well as steroids, human growth hormone, testosterone and blood transfusions, from 2002 onwards.
Landis said he wanted to speak out before the World Anti-Doping Agency’s eight-year statute of limitations for doping offences comes into force. “Now we’ve come to the point where the statute of limitations on the things I know is going to run out or start to run out next month,” Landis said. “If I don’t say something now then it’s pointless to ever say it.”
Landis, who was brought up in a strict Mennonite community in Pennsylvania, won the 2006 Tour de France but tested positive for high levels of testosterone and was stripped of the title. He protested his innocence and fought a lengthy and costly campaign before losing his case and serving a two-year suspension. He returned to racing last year, riding for the US team OUCH.
Armstrong has always denied doping and has never been tested positive or sanctioned by the cycling authorities despite repeated allegations.
