Armstrong coach banned for 10 years
Print Edition
LANCE Armstrong’s longtime coach Johan Bruyneel was banned for 10 years yesterday for helping organize widespread doping by the former seven-time Tour de France winner’s cycling teams.
The US Anti-Doping Agency announced the verdicts of an American Arbitration Association panel against Bruyneel and two medical staff.
Bruyneel “was at the apex of a conspiracy to commit widespread doping on the (US Postal Service) and Discovery Channel teams spanning many years and many riders,” USADA said. Team doctor Pedro Celaya and trainer Jose “Pepe” Marti will serve eight-year bans, USADA said.
Bruyneel claimed he, Armstrong and the others have been made scapegoats for an era when doping was “a fact of life” in cycling. “I do not dispute that there are certain elements of my career that I wish had been different,” Bruyneel said. “However, a very small minority of us has been used as scapegoats for an entire generation.”
Bruyneel said he would consider appealing to the Court of Arbitration.
