Former Armstrong soigneur has more evidence of UCI complicity
Unclear if evidence will be given to CIRC
Lance Armstrong’s former soigneur Emma O’Reilly claims to h🅠ave evidence of the UCI’s complicity in the former rider’s e🌊vasion of anti-doping.
According to a report published on the Mail Online, O’Reilly is said to have heard Armstrong talking 🦹to ex-UCI president Hein Verbruggen.
“We were in the team car at the end of the race,’ O’Reilly told the newspaper. The race in question was the Rheinland-Pf🍸alz Rundfahrt in 1998, where the American had just w♑on the overall classification.
“I was about to drive Lance and one of the other riders to the airport. Lance called Hein and said words to the effect of, “That race c🉐ommissar, I never want to see that guy again”.
“And he was being serious,” O’Reilly continued. &l𝓀dquo;And you could sense that Hein was taking it seriousl🐎y, too. It wasn’t a friendly chat. It was a serious conversation, and the impression I got was that Lance was being listened to. I said there’s no way you should be able to do that.”
After discussing it with Armstrong himself, O’Reilly confirmed that &l🐎dquo;Lance remembers the incident just as I do.”
O’Reilly also claims that former US Postal Johan Bruyneel received a tip off regarding an issue with a sample given by Armstrong. According to the report, the phone call to Bruyneel was made using a mobile belonဣging 𝐆to one of the Texan’s teammates.
