The French Sports daily L’Equipe has published a four page story stating that Lance Armstrong took EPO to win the 1999 Tour de France. The investigaion used B samples of random riders with today’s testing methods. It is not clear from this story if they actually pin pointed Armstrong’s specific samples. The investigation tries to show that Armstrong had traces of EPO in his system on samples taken today.
Lance Armstrong has replied to the allegations:
“L’Equipe , a French sports daily, is reporting that my 1999 samples were positive. Unfortunately the witch hunt continues and the article is nothing short of tabloid journalism.
“I will simply restate what I have said many times: I have never taken performance enhancing drugs.”
