I can find zero proof of this, merely allegations In 1999, Armstrong tested positive for a corticosteroid, also banned unless the cyclist has medical permission to use it. This medical certificate was quickly created and back-dated, allowing Armstrong to escape sanction. He said, you said Former team-mate and 2006 Tour de France winner Floyd Landis made explosive accusations Allegations that Armstrong was paying the UCI, the sport’s governing body, through donations allegedly used to fight doping. This has led to speculation of bribes and cover-ups of positive test results and more lenient treatment by doping controls. Certainly, there can be no doubt that cycling is complicit in many of its doping problems. A former mechanic Mike Andersen has testified to discovering steroid hormones in Armstrong’s bathroom, and being asked to cover for Armstrong by destroying traces of doping products and lying to testers about Armstrong’s whereabouts. Not quite, he was cleared as the testing methods were not done in accordance to the labs own procedures. Cleared by UCI. Paris laboratory reported that research testing of samples from the 1999 Tour de France revealed that Armstrong had been using EPO when he won his first Tour. The test for EPO was only created in 2000 Allegations Yes, Evidence, not quite yet What has emerged cannot be dismissed. There is a growing mountain of evidence and allegations, some no doubt fuelled by ulterior motives, but all requiring a look.
