Former team-record bike rider Lance Armstrong was the winner of the Tour de France for title seven times. He is suspected that he is using the drug doping endurance enhancer EPO species.
Tyler Hamilton, who raced with Armstrong’s U.S. Postal team, said that if they both use a kind of doping drug EPO during the race in 1999.
Hamilton himself banned from competing for two years in the period 2005-2007 after a positive for doping.
Hamilton said in a statement ”I saw the EPO in the refrigerator, I saw Armstrong injected more than once.”
Hamilton’s statement was delivered in a CBS television program 60 Minutes, “just like we do, what I do, he did it many times. ” he said.
Allegations relating to use of banned substances by the U.S. Postal team are still the subject of a federal investigation in the United States.
Armstrong has always denied all allegations against him related to the use of doping and claims to have never failed the doping test.
In its response on Twitter he wrote ”It’s never failed during the test. There is no case for me.”
Lance Armstrong is one of the most successful bike racer by winning seven consecutive titles in the Champions Tour de France in the period 1999-2005.
He returned to race in 2009, but earlier this year the 39-year-old man has announced his retirement from racing bikes.
