Armstrong Rips Tour Chief and L’Equipe
Lance Armstrong fought back to the report in L’Equipe and Jean Marie LeBlanc’s comments. Lawsuits are threatened, but Armstrong is considering if it is worth the fight.
“In the meantime, it would cost a million and a half dollars and a year of my life. I have a lot better things to do with the million and a half … a lot better things I can do with my time. Ultimately, I have to ask myself that question.”
Armstrong questioned the validity of the tests that show he took EPO in 1999. Plus, he calls into question the process the lab took in leaking his name in particular after conducting tests which cannot be verified.
