2. 0:03The US anti-doping agency is set to file
3. 0:06doping charges against the tour to
4. 0:08France winner Lance Armstrong over
5. 0:10claims he used performance-enhancing
6. 0:13drugs during his record-breaking career.
7. 0:15If the charges are upheld, Armstrong
8. 0:17will be banned from competing in his
9. 0:19current incarnation as a triathlete
10. 0:22while the process takes place and could
11. 0:24be stripped of his record seven tour
12. 0:27titles if he's found guilty. Throughout
13. 0:29his career, Armstrong has been dogged by
14. 0:32accusations of cheating and foul play,
15. 0:34although he has never failed a drugs
16. 0:36test and has repeatedly denied ever
17. 0:39cheating. Lance Armstrong has strongly
18. 0:42denied these allegations. And in a
19. 0:44statement on his website, he said, "I
20. 0:46have never doped and unlike many of my
21. 0:48accusers. I have competed as an
22. 0:51endurance athlete for 25 years with no
23. 0:54spike in performance, passed more than
24. 0:56500 drug tests and never failed one."
25. 0:59That the USADA ignores this fundamental
26. 1:02distinction and charges me instead of
27. 1:04the admitted dopers. That says far more
28. 1:07about the organization and its lack of
29. 1:09fairness and this vendetta than it does
30. 1:11about my guilt or innocence. I am
31. 1:14Ansalter. Thanks for watching. For the
