Lance Armstrong reputation is done - Des Kelly Daily Mail column
Really, what are these people who support Lance Armstrong on? It is certainly difficult not to laugh at the idea that the Union Cycliste Internationale governing body once accepted £78,000 from Armstrong for the ‘development of drug-testing equipment’. In one legal action, UCI president Pat McQuaid and ‘honorary president’ Hein Verbruggen are seeking full-page apologies from newspapers in Britain, France and Switzerland. The same Barry was named in the USADA report confessing to years of EPO and testosterone use within Armstrong’s team. The Team Sky website was still carrying an official statement about Barry’s retirement on Thursday, saying: ‘He was a founding member of Team Sky when he signed at the end of 2009, and over the last three seasons has set an example to the rest of the squad with his positive attitude, unwavering commitment to the cause, and wealth of cycling knowledge.’ Seventh heaven: Armstrong was considered one of the greatest sportsmen of his generation There is no doubting his knowledge, but we might argue about the wisdom of using the word ‘positive’ in the circumstances.
