Well that is just a huge surprise. I mean, sure, especially the W52/Porto monsters sprinted up every mountain in those tours in Portugal, but hey, the air must be good

Doping cheat Armstrong says he 'wouldn't change a thing'

He's a liar. One thing he would change is not to be caught cheating.

the most shocking thing is that no one caught him cheating , he revealed it by himself

so much people helped him especially the labs & the federation , why aren't they in prison and no one accused them

In fairness US Anti-Doping did catch him before he revealed his cheating.

The cycling federation would have preferred if they had never caught him.

Wait, what's the source? So far all I find is Reichelt having been questioned (unconfirmed about what) and the Austrian skiing federation saying they have no information about anything suspect (which is exactly the opposite of how they acted in the XC worlds).

Correction, it's not blood doping, but he has been suspected of doping anyway. It has been confirmed from the prosecution in Innsbruck.

 

My source is a Croatian article, which looks to be mostly copied from Austrian media like Kronen Zeitung (among others).
