Some teammates of Lance Armstrong accuse him in steroid use

The case against Lance Armstrong related to doping is proclaimed to be closed. He remains to be considered a champion that won at the Tour de France 7 times.
It is known that federal prosecutors tried to determine whether this cyclist and his teammates have joined a doping program. The investigation has lasted approximately 2 years.
Lance Armstrong denied that he has used forbidden drugs. The charges against this cyclist threatened not only to his athletic career but also to his Foundation of cancer research and support. The efforts to prove that this athlete used steroids were in vain.
This cyclist said that he had heard that the US Attorney’s Office made a decision to close the investigation. He noted that it was a right decision. Armstrong claimed that he was waiting to continue his usual life, being a father, a competitor and an advocate in the fight against cancer.
The attorney Andre Birotte proclaimed during a press conference that the US Attorney’s Office closed the investigation connected with the case of Lance Armstrong. This attorney didn’t notice about any reason of this decision. But he indicated that previous similar cases were also closed.
For example, the investigation linked with Barry Bonds was claimed to be unsuccessful. Prosecutors were not able to prove that this athlete had lied about administration of steroids. As for the case connected with Roger Clemens, the trial was indicated for another time because the judge proclaimed about previous mistrial.
Investigators suspected that a doping program was organized by Armstrong’s team. They wanted to define whether it was so as they believed. Authorities investigated whether Lance Armstrong encouraged or promoted doping.
Actually, prosecutors put efforts to define whether Lance Armstrong and his team broke federal conspiracy and fraud charges. While Barry Bonds testified before a federal grand jury and Clemens testified before Congress, Armstrong was not required to present before a grand jury. Barry Bonds and Clemens were accused in lying under oath.
The former Armstrong’s teammate Frank and her wife Betsy Andreu accused Armstrong in administration of forbidden medicines. They claimed that they were shocked by the decision to close the case. They concluded that such situations happened due to power of money.
