ICU chief rejects 'misleading' Armstrong report

The International Cycling Union’s honorary president Hein Verbruggen has dismissed an article in which he appears to defend Lance Armstrong as “misleading”.

A report by the United States Anti-Doping Agency has stated Armstrong was a serial drug-taker at the centre of a systematic and widespread programme of doping by members of his United States Postal Service team during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
