A complete history of the Lance Armstrong doping case
From 1999ꦚ cortisone test to lifetime ban, how Lance Armstrong became the most disꦑgraced athlete of all time

Allegations of doping hounded 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Armstrong froꦚm the start of his comeback from cancer to win the ൲Tour de France in 1999 through to his retirement and beyond.
Armstrong emphatically denied using performance-enhancing drugs despite years of accusations and allegations, saying it was 'one big lie that I repeated a lot of times' when he finally confessed to years of doping in an 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2013.
The confession started a period of reckoning for professional cycling - with a full independent investigation by the 168澳洲5最新开奖结ꦿ果:Cycling Independent Reform Commission into🙈 the widespread use of doping products in pro cyc🧜ling and complicitness by the UCI itself.
Cyclingnews has been covering the stories from the༺ beginning, and provide here a complete list of stories relating to Armstrong and doping allegations through the years.
Cortisone 'saddle sore' cream
Lance Armstrong tested positive for cortisone during the 1999 Tour de France but explained the result away, saying he'd used a topical cream for a saddle sore. He produced a back-dated TUE for the cream and walked away unp⛦unished.

L.A. Confidentiel
In 2004, David Walsh and Pierre Ballester published L.A. Confidentiel: Les secrets de Lance Armstrong, which included the first witness testimonies alleging Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs. Armstrong sued for defamation and won an apology from the Sunday Times, but lost his battle to have his🌸 own statement included in all copies of the book. The opus was never released in🐎 English.
At the same time, Italian𝕴 . Armstrong called him a liar, and Simeoni sued for defamationꦓ. He lost.

L'Equipe allegations
French anti-doping authorities had retroactively applied the new EPO test to samples from the 1999 Tour de France in order to test the robustness of their new test. The samp🦋les, which had been taken before the EPO test had been developed, allegedly showed evidence of EPO use but t♉he lab personnel had no knowledge of the identities of riders behind positive samples.
A journalist from L'Equipe managed to acquire documentation from the UCI with sample numbers and match positives to those of Armstrong. However, the UCI's independent analyst ruled the data was unreliable and could not be used for doping punishment because the samples were tested strictly for research purposes. The World Anti-Doping Agency objected, sparking a l🅷ong, heated battle between WADA president Dick Pound and then-UCI president Hein Verbruggen.

Reasoned decision is released
On October 10, 2012, th🎉e USADA released on its website all of the documented evidence against Lance Armstrong. In🉐 the dossier are the sworn confessions to doping of six current riders: George Hincapie, Michael Barry (both had retired prior to the release), plus Garmin-Sharp riders Christian Vande Velde, Tom Danielson and David Zabriskie and Omega Pharma-Quickstep's Levi Leipheimer.
Whi🐼le the three Garmin riders are retained by the team despite their six-month bans, Leipheimer is let go from Quickstep. As the cycling world digests the report, it becomes more and more clear that the avalanche will bury not only these American riders but will come crashing down on the entire professional peloton.

Armstrong's results nullified
On October 22, 2012, the UCI upheld USADA's lifetime ban and expunged his results since 1998. In the wake of the ban, all of Armstrong's personal sponsors🦄 one by one turned their backs on him, but stayed with the Lance Armstrong Foundation - which subsequently changed its legal name to the Livestrong Foundation ๊and asked Armstrong to step down as chairman.
Other riders from the era felt safe to come f🎐orward and admit to doping, with mixed consequences. After months of fighting, Armstrong finally decided to confess in a television interview with Oprah Winfrey.
