In his \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/17/video-lance-armstrong-discusses-doping-allegations-on-gavin-newsom-show/\">May 18 interview with Calif. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom\u003c/a> on Current TV, cyclist Lance Armstrong denied taking performance enhancing drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Thursday in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/15/lance-armstrong-san-francisco-gavin-newsom/#AP\">Armstrong is reversing himself,\u003c/a> Winfrey says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before you watch Armstrong on Oprah, you might want to refresh your memory about just how strongly he denied the charges. “Somebody should lose their job over that,” he told Newsom. “I’m not wasting anymore of my time talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A confession could affect many of the people who were pulled along by Armstrong’s rise to the top of professional cycling. Among them is San Francisco financier Thomas Weisel, \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sports/story/glare-lance-armstrong-probe-falls-sf/print/\">according to Matt Smith and Lance Williams of the Center for Investigative Reporting\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Lance Armstrong’s “no-holds-barred” interview with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, when he’s expected to confess to the use of performance-enhancing drugs during his professional cycling career, comes as a federal probe into his finances has widened to focus on the man who bankrolled his champion teams: legendary San Francisco financier Thomas Weisel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court documents unsealed last month show that government investigators pursuing possible fraud claims against Armstrong have subpoenaed Weisel, founder of the Montgomery Securities investment firm and co-chairman of Stifel Financial Corp., the Center for Investigative Reporting has found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the business world, Weisel, 71, is renowned for taking public such companies as Amgen and Yahoo. In sports, he is known as the founder, owner and chairman of San Francisco-based Tailwind Sports, the holding company for the U.S. Postal Service cycling team that Armstrong led to an unbroken string of seven victories in the Tour de France, from 1999 to 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The relationship between the financier and the cycling champion began in 1990, when Armstrong was a teenager trying to break into professional cycling and Weisel was dreaming of building an American racing team that could dominate the Tour de France…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At stake is the $40 million in federal funds the Postal Service paid Tailwind between 1996 and 2004 to sponsor the team. Team management – which hired and paid the riders – promised in its contracts not to tolerate doping. The Postal Service is investigating whether Armstrong and others defrauded the government by violating that no-doping clause, a federal prosecutor wrote in a filing last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weisel declined to comment for this story. He has not publicly addressed the reports of doping on the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In legal sparring over whether Armstrong had to comply with a Postal Service subpoena for financial records, however, the cyclist’s lawyer, John Keker, revealed that the government also had subpoenaed “nearly identical” records from Weisel, according to the unsealed documents. (Keker is a donor to the nonprofit, nonpartisan Center for Investigative Reporting.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the first indication that Weisel was facing scrutiny in connection with the Armstrong doping scandal and its aftermath.\u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/sports/story/glare-lance-armstrong-probe-falls-sf/print/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"AP\">\u003c/a>Here’s the AP story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>by Jim Litke and Jim Vertuno, AP Sports Writers\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong has finally come clean.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong confessed to doping during an interview with Oprah Winfrey taped Monday, just a couple of hours after a wrenching apology to staff at the Livestrong charity he founded and has now been forced to surrender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day ended with 2 1/2 hours of questions from Winfrey at a downtown Austin hotel, where she said the world’s most famous cyclist was “forthcoming” as she asked him in detail about doping allegations that followed him throughout his seven Tour de France victories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking on “CBS This Morning,” Winfrey said Tuesday she had not planned to address Armstrong’s confession before the interview aired on her OWN network but, “by the time I left Austin and landed in Chicago, you all had already confirmed it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I’m sitting here now because it’s already been confirmed,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The session was to be broadcast on Thursday but Winfrey said it will now run in two parts over two nights because there is so much material. \u003c!--more-->Winfrey would not characterize whether Armstrong seemed contrite but said he seemed ready for the interview. “I would say that he met the moment,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think ’emotional’ begins to describe the intensity or the difficulty he experienced in talking about some of these things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The confession was a stunning reversal for a proud athlete and celebrity who sought lavish praise in the court of public opinion and used courtrooms to punish his critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than a decade, Armstrong dared anybody who challenged his version of events to prove it. Finally, he told the tale himself after promising over the weekend to answer Winfrey’s questions “directly, honestly and candidly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cyclist was stripped of his Tour titles, lost most of his endorsements and was forced to leave Livestrong last year after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page report that accused him of masterminding a long-running doping scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Cycling Union, or UCI, issued a statement on Tuesday saying it was aware of the reports that Armstrong had confessed to Winfrey. The governing body for the sport urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims it covered up suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong started Monday with a visit to the headquarters of Livestrong, the charity he founded in 1997 and turned into a global force on the strength of his athletic dominance and personal story of surviving testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 100 Livestrong staff members gathered in a conference room as Armstrong told them “I’m sorry.” He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity’s mission, helping cancer patients and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heartfelt and sincere,” is how Livestrong spokeswoman Katherine McLane described his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview with Winfrey. The group included close friends and lawyers. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey has promoted her interview, one of the biggest for OWN since she launched the network in 2011, as a “no-holds barred” session, and after the voluminous USADA report — which included testimony from 11 former teammates — she said she went into the session with 112 questions ready to go. Not all of them were asked, she said, but many were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrong’s, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” USADA did not respond to requests for comment about Armstrong’s confession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Armstrong went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion. He scolded some in public and didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself. He waged legal battles against still others in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Australia, the government of South Australia state said Tuesday it will seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us,” South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrong’s confession “very emotional and very sad,” and choked up when asked to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He used to be one of my husband’s best friends and because he wouldn’t go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side,” she said. “Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. He’s got to be completely honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu testified in SCA’s arbitration case challenging the bonus in 2005, saying Armstrong admitted in an Indiana hospital room in 1996 that he had taken many performance-enhancing drugs, a claim Armstrong vehemently denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be nice if he would come out and say the hospital room happened,” Andreu said. “That’s where it all started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. An attorney familiar with Armstrong’s legal problems told the AP that the Justice Department is highly likely to join the lawsuit. The False Claims Act lawsuit could result in Armstrong paying a substantial amount of money to the U.S. government. The deadline for the department to join the case is Thursday, though the department could seek an extension if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the attorney, who works outside the government, the lawsuit alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government based on his years of denying use of performance-enhancing drugs. The attorney spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong’s sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADA’s scathing report — at the cost of tens of millions of dollars — and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the USADA findings, he was also barred from competing in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his cycling career. World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In sports, he is known as the founder, owner and chairman of San Francisco-based Tailwind Sports, the holding company for the U.S. Postal Service cycling team that Armstrong led to an unbroken string of seven victories in the Tour de France, from 1999 to 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The relationship between the financier and the cycling champion began in 1990, when Armstrong was a teenager trying to break into professional cycling and Weisel was dreaming of building an American racing team that could dominate the Tour de France…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At stake is the $40 million in federal funds the Postal Service paid Tailwind between 1996 and 2004 to sponsor the team. Team management – which hired and paid the riders – promised in its contracts not to tolerate doping. The Postal Service is investigating whether Armstrong and others defrauded the government by violating that no-doping clause, a federal prosecutor wrote in a filing last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weisel declined to comment for this story. He has not publicly addressed the reports of doping on the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In legal sparring over whether Armstrong had to comply with a Postal Service subpoena for financial records, however, the cyclist’s lawyer, John Keker, revealed that the government also had subpoenaed “nearly identical” records from Weisel, according to the unsealed documents.

Finally, he told the tale himself after promising over the weekend to answer Winfrey’s questions “directly, honestly and candidly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cyclist was stripped of his Tour titles, lost most of his endorsements and was forced to leave Livestrong last year after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page report that accused him of masterminding a long-running doping scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Cycling Union, or UCI, issued a statement on Tuesday saying it was aware of the reports that Armstrong had confessed to Winfrey. The governing body for the sport urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims it covered up suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong started Monday with a visit to the headquarters of Livestrong, the charity he founded in 1997 and turned into a global force on the strength of his athletic dominance and personal story of surviving testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 100 Livestrong staff members gathered in a conference room as Armstrong told them “I’m sorry.” He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity’s mission, helping cancer patients and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heartfelt and sincere,” is how Livestrong spokeswoman Katherine McLane described his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview with Winfrey. The group included close friends and lawyers. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey has promoted her interview, one of the biggest for OWN since she launched the network in 2011, as a “no-holds barred” session, and after the voluminous USADA report — which included testimony from 11 former teammates — she said she went into the session with 112 questions ready to go. Not all of them were asked, she said, but many were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrong’s, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” USADA did not respond to requests for comment about Armstrong’s confession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Armstrong went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion. He scolded some in public and didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself. He waged legal battles against still others in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Australia, the government of South Australia state said Tuesday it will seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us,” South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrong’s confession “very emotional and very sad,” and choked up when asked to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He used to be one of my husband’s best friends and because he wouldn’t go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side,” she said. “Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. He’s got to be completely honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu testified in SCA’s arbitration case challenging the bonus in 2005, saying Armstrong admitted in an Indiana hospital room in 1996 that he had taken many performance-enhancing drugs, a claim Armstrong vehemently denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be nice if he would come out and say the hospital room happened,” Andreu said. “That’s where it all started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. An attorney familiar with Armstrong’s legal problems told the AP that the Justice Department is highly likely to join the lawsuit. The False Claims Act lawsuit could result in Armstrong paying a substantial amount of money to the U.S. government. The deadline for the department to join the case is Thursday, though the department could seek an extension if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the attorney, who works outside the government, the lawsuit alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government based on his years of denying use of performance-enhancing drugs. The attorney spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong’s sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADA’s scathing report — at the cost of tens of millions of dollars — and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
