Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
A woman repeated her claims that she heard Lance Armstrong tell doctors in 1996 that he used performance-enhancing drugs in a meeting with a federal investigator, the Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday. Betsy Andreu, who was engaged to a cycling teammate of Armstrong's at the time, told the same story about the alleged hospital admission as part of a 2006 civil lawsuit. Armstrong, who won the first of his seven Tour de France titles in 1999 after coming back from cancer, has denied he ever doped.
"The entire Indiana hospital story is preposterous," Armstrong spokesman Mark Fabiani told the newspaper. "Lance's doctors said it didn't happen. The records show it didn't happen. The other six to seven people in that hospital room either say it didn't happen or have no recollection of any such conversation. The Andreus are the only persons who say it happened.
Andreu also said she turned over recorded voice mails on which a representative for longtime Armstrong sponsor Oakley apologized for denying the hospital conversation took place as part of the lawsuit.
"Lance was required to undergo an active steroid and EPO regimen as part of his post-operative treatment, which may give a reasonable explanation for there having been some discussion of EPO or steroids during her visit to the hospital, having nothing to do with any suggestion of use before he was a cancer patient," Fabiani said.
