The case related to Lance Armstrong

The case against Lance Armstrong connected with doping is proclaimed to be closed. This person remains to be considered a champion that won at the Tour de France 7 times.
It is known that federal prosecutors tried to determine whether this cyclist and his teammates have taken part in a doping program. The duration of the investigation has been approximately 2 years.
Lance Armstrong denied that he has used forbidden drugs. The accusations against this person threatened not only to his athletic career but also to his Foundation of cancer research and support. The efforts to prove that this athlete administrated steroids were in vain.
Armstrong noticed that he had heard that the US Attorney’s Office made a decision to close the case. He confirmed that it was a right decision. Armstrong claimed that he was waiting to continue his usual life, being a father, a competitor and an advocate in the fight against cancer.
Andre Birote, an attorney proclaimed during a press conference that the US Attorney’s Office closed the investigation linked with the case of Lance Armstrong. This attorney didn’t mention about any reason of this decision. But he just said that previous similar cases were also closed.
For example, the investigation related to Barry Bonds was claimed to be unsuccessful. Prosecutors couldn’t prove that this athlete had cheated about administration of steroids. As for the case connected with Roger Clemens, the trial was indicated for another time because the judge declared about previous mistrial.
Investigators thought that a doping program was organized by Armstrong’s team. They wanted to determine whether it was so as they believed. Authorities investigated whether Armstrong encouraged or promoted doping.
Actually, prosecutors tried to define whether Armstrong and his team violated federal conspiracy and fraud charges. While Barry Bonds testified before a federal grand jury and Clemens testified before Congress, Lance Armstrong wasn’t required to testify before a grand jury. Barry Bonds and Clemens were accused in lying under oath.
The former Armstrong’s teammate Frank and her wife Betsy Andreu charged Armstrong with administration of forbidden preparations. They claimed that they were shocked by the decision to close the case. They concluded that such situations happened due to possessing money and corruption.
