UCI statement on L'Equipe allegations

There is an interesting statement now online from the UCI about the
allegations against Lance Armstrong. It can be found at
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...p05/sep09news3



It is harshly critical of L'Equipe and of the president of the World
Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). It says the UCI has not yet been given any
information officially by anyone involved, even though it has asked and WADA
agrees that the UCI has jurisdiction over the case. One paragraph of the
statement suggests that the UCI believes the author of the article lied
about the investigation on which he claimed the article was based, committed
some kind of fraud to get the documents that link the suspect test to
Armstrong, and was looking for evidence only against Armstrong, not about
doping generally:



"As for the article itself, the author claims to have been working on the
story for four months, when in fact it seems that his 'investigation' was
limited to receiving confidential information related to testing conducted
by the laboratory and confidential doping control documents, including
confidential documents which he was able to consult at the UCI after
receiving, under false pretext, the authorization of Lance Armstrong. His
subsequent public statements tend to confirm that he was targeting a
particular athlete and that the newspaper was only given doping control
forms relating to this athlete."
