Drugs in cycling: it's not only Lance Armstrong who has questions to answer | Observer editorial

For years, the Tour de France was taking medication. He forced the others to be complicit in the fraud. And yet, your sponsor is next

Lance Armstrong was a magnificent performance. To orchestrate across your subterfuge and falsehood always such a level of excellence for more than a decade - lives in press conferences, on television, in books, even in court - was a performance worthy of a champ. A liar champion.

But lying is a part of the artillery Armstrong made to keep up the deception and denying he used performance-enhancing drugs when he went trick seven wins in the Tour de France.

Deception describes in meticulous detail and shocking hundreds of pages (USADA) Report of the United States Anti-Doping Agency last week. Based on dozens of interviews, including with former teammates, the report accuses Armstrong and his managers to be "involved in a massive drug use in the long term, to cover their tracks, intimidate witnesses, tarnish reputations, lying hearing and the press and do whatever was necessary to hide the truth. "

Armstrong not only medication: the killer was mafia in professional cycling small displacement relentlessly against anyone who threatens to expose him and his staff. There intimidated and threatened teammates, journalists and other cyclists and officials.

Ask Emma O'Reilly, a masseuse in the U.S. team Armstrong Postal Service as a leader. I had a ringside seat and looked and the race team. She used makeup to cover the bruises syringes Armstrong. She helped carry the packets of drugs and delivered in person to Armstrong. At one point, he turned to her and said. "Now, Emma, ??you know enough to take down"

few years later, O'Reilly has contributed to a book in which he describes what he saw. Armstrong's legal team racing. She was taken to court. Armstrong has publicly called "an alcoholic and a prostitute." He shut up. As she says: "Lance tried to make my life hell was bullying, harassment and stress.".

The most striking aspect of the report can be used not what he speaks of "doping-free sport program most sophisticated ever seen," but he speaks of revenge, untruthful, vicious at the heart of this fraud. Armstrong not only attack with vigor mountains, attacked someone who threatened to reveal the truth of his doping. seems to be less a cyclist, more like a psychopath.

And this can not be the end of the story of Armstrong. The U.S. Attorney's Office - Which dropped an investigation into his alleged doping earlier this year - is very likely to be interested in the report of the USADA, especially when it is alleged that Mr. Armstrong perjury during seven jurors to make a statement before a court in Dallas in 2005.


In 2005, when the

fled retail 1999 Armstrong positive test, the UCI has conducted an "investigation" in which Armstrong was acquitted. Dick Pound, chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said that the report of the UCI was "so lacking in professionalism and objectivity that it borders on the ridiculous."
Why ICU was so useless? As one journalist noted cycling governing body last week "continuously, either through naivety, incompetence or complicity, cache the worst excesses of the decade of doping." What was - naivety, incompetence or complicity? This is the same organization that has accepted Armstrong $ 125,000 to help fund UCI anti-doping research. As he had laughed. You could not make peace. Only Armstrong did - and bought more intensive care
