Now, another ex-teammate says Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs

Now, another ex-teammate says Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugsNew York, May 21: After Tyler Hamilton, another ex-team-mate of seven time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has revealed that the latter took the performance enhancing drug EPO.

According to CBS News, federal subpoenas have broken cycling''s code of silence, and at least three cyclists have told federal authorities that they used banned substances and witnessed Armstrong using them too.

One of those riders is Armstrong''s other close teammate, George Hincapie.

Hincapie has testified to federal investigators that he and Armstrong supplied each other with the blood-booster EPO and discussed having used testosterone, another banned substance, during their preparation for races.

Hincapie, however, has declined to be interviewed, citing the ongoing investigation.

Hincapie is the only rider to be at Armstrong''s side for all seven of his record Tour de France victories. If anyone would know if Armstrong was doping, it would be Hincapie. (ANI)
