Armstrong, who retired from competitive cycling in 2011,
confirmed on Twitter on Wednesday that he was informed of the charges in a
letter sent by USADA.
His seven Tour de France titles could also be in jeopardy,
the Washington Post first reported in a story published Wednesday on its website. The
newspaper obtained a copy of a letter sent to Armstrong on Tuesday that says
blood samples collected in 2009 and 2010 were "fully consistent with blood
manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions."
The cyclist has strongly denied doping accusations
throughout his career. He has never tested positive.
He is now banned from competing in triathlons, as a result
of the USADA charges, the Post reported. The letter alleges that Armstrong and
five others associated with his cycling team were involved in a doping program
that included the use of blood transfusions and performance enhancing drugs, the
report said.
Armstrong said in his statement that USADA "intends to
again dredge up discredited allegations dating back more than 16 years."
The statement continued: "I have never doped, and, unlike
many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with
no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one."
In February, federal prosecutors dropped a two-year
investigation of Armstrong, looking at whether he and his teammates participated
in a doping program.

So the US attorneys office drops a two year investigation into doping four months ago and suddenly! the USADA has conclusive samples of his drugging? ROFLMAO.
Are they forwarding them to the Gov for prosecution? Where were the samples over the last 30 months?
Is the USADA as stupid and self destructive as the World Boxing Organization?
I think so!
seems like nbody has been all natural its crazy that 7 tour de frances with or without steroids that is crazy !!!
fuck steroids, i think they should be legal for every athlete to use if they so desire.. it's a fucking sport, it's not the end of the fucking world.. let them shoot up whatever the hell drugs they see fit.. who cares, it's a fucking bicycle race ffs...
same as baseball and football.. who fucking cares, it's some dudes running around on a field at the end of the day, who cares if they're juiced up or not??

From what I'm reading, the head of the USADA is obsessed with prosecuting Armstrong. He is using the exact same "evidence" the LA USAO, after a 2+year investigation, refused to prosecute him with, most of which is "evidence" the international doping agencies tried to convict him with in the decades previous to the Feds getting involved.
This is absolutely ridiculous. People around the world are laughing at us, because their own doping agencies tried and failed to convict him of doping for nearly 25 years! 500 tests. Frozen evidence from hundreds of races over 25 years, tested and retested, by group after group. Simply the most investigated human being in the history of the modern world. For doing well at biking and being a cancer survivor.
yeah he does not deserve all that for sure
ne he deserves a bumper to the back tire like the rest of em....i like to honk as i go by and yell as loud as i can that there is a sidewalk right their..especially to the ones on busy roads that ARE STILL taking up half your lane like they belong..
don't you love the ones who stop at a red light in the middle of the street in the front of the cue waiting for it to turn green, and when it does, it takes them a half an hour to get up to 20 mph, then they give you a shit look when you pass by them like you're the one holding up a line of 30 cars..ne he deserves a bumper to the back tire like the rest of em
