"Former UCI president Hein Verbruggen has questioned the credibility of now-banned cyclist Lance Armstrong after the rider implicated the Dutchman in covering up doping at the 1999 Tour de France."

"PARIS - Chris Froome, crowned the Tour de France winner on Sunday, was being peppered at a recent news conference with questions that furtively nibbled at a bigger issue - have you doped? - when his team director leapt into the fray, bubbling with frustration."

"Britain's Chris Froome is set to win the 100th Tour de France on Sunday. However, he has been forced to respond to questions about doping, following revelations over Lance Armstrong and other former Tour de France giants who used drugs in the 90s and 2000s. Froome told BBC Sport: "I've also believed in people who have turned out to be cheats and liars. But I can assure you, I'm not.""

"A Texas judge wants answers from Lance Armstrong about the disgraced cyclist's use of performance-enhancing drugs. A Nebraska-based company is seeking details from Armstrong about his doping, as well as who else had knowledge -- including Armstrong's lawyers and ex-wife -- of the PED use and at what time."

"Dick Pound, the former head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, has admitted that the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport has forced him to question 'everything I see'. Pound, a 71-year-old Canadian lawyer, was founding chairman of WADA and is a former president of the agency, as well as a senior member of the International Olympic Committee. "

"This is about as uncomfortable an interview as I have conducted. It is the early evening of one of the last days of our faded summer and I am sitting on a hilltop in Sussex, the South Downs stretching out before us, talking to Sean Yates, who is frank, weary in voice, but not even impolite when he says that he wishes we hadn't actually spoken."

"Lance Armstrong has questioned the validity of cycling's inquiry into doping and complained that he has "experienced massive personal loss … while others have truly capitalised on this story". "Do I think that this process has been good for cycling?" he said in a interview. "No. I don't think our sport has been served well by going back 15 years."
