Lance Armstrong Responds to USADA Allegation

AUSTIN, TX -- June 13, 2012 -- I have been notified that USADA, an organization largely funded by taxpayer dollars but governed only by self-written rules, intends to again dredge up discredited allegations dating back more than 16 years to prevent me from competing as a triathlete and try and strip me of the seven Tour de France victories I earned. These are the very same charges and the same witnesses that the Justice Department chose not to pursue after a two-year investigation. These charges are baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity. Although USADA alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy extended over more than 16 years, I am the only athlete it has chosen to charge. USADA’s malice, its methods, its star-chamber practices, and its decision to punish first and adjudicate later all are at odds with our ideals of fairness and fair play.
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. That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence.

I heard about this earlier Today. If they are going to go after him again, hopefully they truly have evidence, this time. My personal opinion is i don't know if he Doped or not. That being said, a good portion of his Major competition ( during his Racing years) has been found guilty of doping. So was he Truly that much better than everyone else, that was on Dope to win the TDF 7 years in a Row with out Dope ?. Also worth noting, is at least 3 or 4 former Team mates were found guilty of doping. I know that does not mean the Lance did dope. But i could see were it would make People wonder if he did.

Went for a ride where I sometimes walk the dogs. The start of the vid is a goat track so unused and overgrown it was hard to stay on it.
