Lance Armstrong Being Investigated by Federal Authorities

Tour De France Champion Lance Armstrong is currently being investigated by federal authorities for possible fraud and doping charges.  The investigators are probing whether Armstrong misappropriated money given by team sponsor United States Postal Service from 2002-2004 to establish a doping program.

The investigation started when Armstrong’s former teammate, Floyd Landis, publicly accused Armstrong of promoting the use of banned substances to fellow USPS team members.  Landis claimed in emails that members of the U.S. Postal Service team sold 60 new bicycles to help finance the doping operation.

The federal authorities issued a subpoena to three-time Tour de France champion Greg LeMond, who alleges that Armstrong tried to pay somebody $300,000 to claim LeMond used endurance-boosting EPO. LeMond will testify in Los Angeles on July 30, 2010.

Currently, there are no charges filed against Armstrong.  The seven-time Tour de France winner denies any wrongdoing.
