The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:reported exchange took place at the weekend when the tꦅwo former teammates dined with separate parties at the same restaurant. ESPN reported that L🤪ance Armstrong threatened to make Tyler Hamilton’s life a “living hell” in the law courts. Hamilton’s lawyers, who alleged the ‘aggressive contact’ at the impromptu meeting, reported the incident to federal authorities who will decide if it constitutes ‘witness tampering’.
On Tuesday the New York Times spoke to the restaurant owner, Jodi Larner, who confirmed that the she had talked to an FBI agent and that she would be subpoenaed fo🅺r the surveillance recordings.
Larner told the Times that she doubted that it would help the FBI because the confrontation occurred 🌳in the bar area. “I wish I had the incident on tape, so the whole world could see what happened between Tyler and Lance, and shut up⛄ about it already,” she said. “It was a non-event.”
However others disagree. Hamilton legal representative Chris Manderson told ESPN: “Lance Armstrong is a possible defendant in an investigation that's been widely reported, and Tyler is a probable witness. When there's any contact, especially aggressive contact, we as lawyers have a duty to inform the a🍒uthorities. What they will do with it, I don't kn💯ow."
Hamilton reported🃏ly testified last year, admitting that he had doped as a professional rider. He also alleged to have witnessed Armstrong take performance enhancing drugs.
Armstrong has always denied such allegations but the Facts4Lance.com website was removed last week. The site had been built as a portal to discredit Hamilton and Floyd Landis - another former teammate who had made several doping allegations against the former Tour winner.
