Evidence against multiple Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is about to be surface coming from the United States Anti-Doping Agency and is set to be revealed later this week.
Armstrong has in as recent as August decided he will not continue to fight to clear his name. These reports come after the cyclist has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life.
The documents that are set to be release according to the New York Times will contain the testimonies of some of Armstrong's fellow cyclist such as Levi Leipheimer, Christian Vande Velde and David Zabriskie, who of which are still active on the cycling circuit.
Before this newly surfaced evidence, Tyler Hamilton one of Lance Armstrong's former team mates on the United States Postal Service team published a book called "The Secret Race," in it Hamilton said that Armstrong and others would schedule times in which to take ban substances namely EPO or erythropoietin.
Hamilton claims that Armstrong and team staff encouraged athletes to use the drug with Armstrong one of the lead users.
"This is all the same, old, worn-out stuff that USADA and others have been peddling for years and that almost everyone has already made up their minds about," claimed Armstrong's spokesman Mark Fabiani in an email according to the New York Times.
Hamilton In his book wrote that In 1999 he jokingly asked Armstrong if he had some EPO. "Hey dude, you got any Poe(EPO) I can borrow?"Asked Hamilton. Then he wrote in his book.
"Lance pointed casually to the fridge. I opened it and there, on the door, next to a carton of milk, was a carton of EPO, each stoppered vial standing upright, little soldiers in their cardboard cells."
Lance Armstrong has since retire from cyclying in 2011.
