Lance Armstrong could face perjury charges following USADA allegations
A federal investigation into Armstrong and alleged doping was dropped in February this year, but the US Attorney office said it could be reopened if new evidence emerged. That could include the findings of the USADA report which, as well as accusing Armstrong of being the of the biggest doping conspiracy in sporting history accuses him of making seven false statements to win a 2005 Dallas court case where a $5 performance bonus was at stake.
The civil arbitration in Nov 2005 was called to adjudicate between Armstrong (and his company Tailwind Sports) against SCA Promotions Inc and Ted Lyonhamman Insurance Services. The latter were reluctant to pay out the $5 million bonus due to Armstrong after he won his sixth consecutive Tour de France, as rumours spread as to his possible use of performance enhancing drugs.
The insurance company and SCA wanted assurances that he was not doping before paying out, Armstrong wanted his money so, at Armstrong insistence, they went to court.
The action was laid at the Dallas County District Court, but Armstrong gave three and a half hours evidence in a video recording conducted at the law offices of Herman, Howry and Breen in Austin, Texas. It was made clear to Armstrong that of perjury attach to this deposition just like they would to a court of law proceeding
USADA lists the seven instances of alleged perjury as:
1. That Dr Michele Ferrari, the Italian who USADA accused of being US Postal doping mastermind, never prescribed, administered or suggested any kind of a drug or doping programme for Lance Armstrong.
2. That there was nothing Nike Air Max 2016 in Armstrong dealings with Dr Ferrari that would suggest that Dr Ferrari was encouraging other athletes to use performance enhancing drugs.
3. That Armstrong had not had any Nike Air Max 2016 Mens professional relationship with Dr Ferrari since October 1, 2004.
4. That Armstrong never violated the rules of the UCI or the Tour de France in connection with the Tour de France in 2001, 2002, 2003 or 2004.
5. That Armstrong had never Nike Air Max 2016 Womens taken any performance enhancing drug in connection with his cycling career.
6. That Armstrong never knew of Tyler Hamilton using illegal substances when on the same team.
7. That Hamilton did not dope while he was on Armstrong team.
The US Attorney office in Los Angeles remained tight lipped last night on whether the damning USADA report will lead to a reopening of the criminal investigation against Armstrong. When asked by The Daily Telegraph whether the USADA report constituted new evidence, a spokesman for the US Attorney office in LA said: are not commenting in relation to the USADA report.
Although he gave evidence under oath at the US Federal investigation into US Postal last year, investigators decided not to bring any criminal proceedings. Armstrong declined to give evidence to the USADA investigation.
As well as potential criminal charges, Armstrong is to have his bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Games reviewed by the International Olympic Committee, although he maybe saved by the IOC statute of limitations which places an eight year time limit on offences.
Where Armstrong will not be hit yet is in the pocket. His sponsors, Nike, have vowed to stand by him and his cancer charity, which has raised more than $100m, Cheap Nike Air Max 2016 and offered support by echoing the doubts of his lawyers by questioning the USADA report.
long standing concerns about the impartiality and fairness of USADA proceedings are compounded today, said Doug Ulman, the foundation president and chief executive. a federal judge pointed out, USADA appears motivated more by publicity rather than fulfilling its mission. |
