CYCLING: New panel undermines Armstrong probe
The UCI established a three-person panel to investigate accusations that its leaders covered up suspicious doping tests given by Armstrong and improperly accepted donations from him totalling $125,000.
The panel had demanded earlier yesterday that it must be allowed to implement a form of amnesty programme that allowed riders and officials to come forward with information on doping without fear of retribution, citing a struggle to persuade witnesses to speak openly.
