Tygart reveals new evidence on Armstrong
The head of the US anti-doping agency (USADA) Travis Tygart has claimed the director of the drug-testing laboratory in Lausanne told him he provided the cyclist with the information to avoid positive tests for the blood-boosting agent EPO at the request of the UCI.
Concerns have previously been expressed about a ‘triangle’ — with the UCI accepting a $100,000 (€120,000) donation from Armstrong in 2002 and around that time the UCI gave the Lausanne laboratory free use of a blood analyser worth $60-70,000.
