Yep, more Lance news! Yesterday, USADA CEO Travis Tygart appeared on Showtime鈥檚 new 60 Minute Sports series to address all things Armstrong. Tygart says that
He recounted a 2010 conversation with Saugy concerning Armstrong鈥檚 sample from the 2001 Tour de Suisse:
He sat beside me and said: “Travis, there is a sample from Lance Armstrong that indicates Lance Armstrong used EPO.” He also told us that he had been ordered by the UCI to meet Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel to explain the method of detecting EPO.聽So I asked him: “Did you give Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel the keys to beating EPO tests?” And he nodded his head for yes. He explained to them, just the two of them. As far as I know, it鈥檚 unprecedented. It鈥檚 totally incorrect to meet an athlete with a suspect result and explain to him how the test works.
In the interview, Tygart also revealed that Armstrong attempted to donate around $250,000 to USADA in 2004. Here鈥檚 a clip from the show:
