This was in The Guardian (taken from the New York Times):

Armstrong's former soigneur gave evidence against him.

People outside Australia, does this link work?

If not then this page has most of the summary and some of the videos (again I'm not sure that it will work):
https://www.abc.ne...rs/4313246
Fourcorners always posts transcripts as well, but this one isn't up yet.
It is mostly archive footage broadcast for the first time from the 2005-6 court case as well as interviews with various key figures like Betsy Andreu. Really, really interesting stuff and some of the best journalism in the non-cycling media on the topic that I've seen.
I'm in the US, and the first link seems to be working for me (haven't watched much of it yet, but am about to  ). |

Was a great radio show on 5 live Sport - Peddlers - Cycling's Dirty Truth.
Brits can catch it on BBC iPlayer, not sure how those outside the isles can hear it. |

Just a little thought.
I saw Wiggins mention that as the current TDF-champion he had to answer question, and it was demanded from him.
What about the current Girochampion? His CV is not looking to good. And as far as i have seen, no one is questioning him. It seems like the general thought is that every former US Postalrider is somewhat connected to this.
In all fairness a lot of riders are connected Postal or not, but have agree that all GT winners this year look a tad *cough* dodge 
Well, it's not so dodgy when you consider the fact that the starting lineup was so weak that even I could have gotten a Top 190.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

BBC 5 Live did a podcast type thingy on Monday night with a whole host of people from the cycling world. Here is a bit of a summary and I think you can download it for free or listen to it (not sure if it is UK only though!):

Nike alledgedly paid 500.000 US$ to Hein Verbrugge to make a positive test of Armstrong 'disappear'. |

To elaborate: This is admitted by Kathy LeMond, wife of Greg LeMond, who says she heard it from team members.
This is not the 2001 Tour de Suisse test, so it's now the 2nd Armstrong positive that witnesses claim the UCI was bribed to bury

More specifically, a positive test during the '99 Tour for corticosteroids. |

according to cyclingnews
The money was apparently sent to cover up a 1999 positive drug test for corticosteroids, which Armstrong had used to treat saddle sores.
it's the same test. Maybe to help UCI accept the backdated prescription?

Wait, he had used a corticoid for doping purposes, but came with a backdated ATU, claiming it had been used to treat a saddle sore.
I don't get what's new, or did UCI need money to close its eyes on Armstrong back then ?

I guess they paid to ensure that no one would point out that he hadn't declared it when he was supposed to?

Reports are that Lance Armstrong has stepped down from his role as chairman of Livestrong. |

Surrender. |
