Armstrong et les autres: l'Agence américaine antidopage critiquée (NY Times)

On a coincé Lance Armstrong il y a un an, mais on s'interroge ici sur qu'il advient des autres athlètes qui ont contribué à le dénoncer. Peuvent-ils continuer leurs activités en toute quiétude après avoir eux aussi profité du système?

 "Those people — more than three dozen of them — were mentioned in the United States Anti-Doping Agency report that exposed Armstrong’s long-lived lies and duplicity. But a year after the report was released, we still do not know the identities of most of them. Their names were blacked out from the pages of evidence, replaced by labels like Rider-15 or Other-4.

 Travis Tygart, the chief executive of the antidoping agency, said the names were not revealed because Usada was investigating those people for possible doping offenses. Common sense says their names were also not included in the report because they would not be good witnesses or because Usada already had the goods on Armstrong, its marked man.

 But now, 12 months later, none of those doping investigations have turned into official cases that punished people for breaking the rules. Tygart said that some were still in the works — he would not give details about open cases — but that others would not go anywhere because the evidence was so flimsy that it “won’t stand up in court.”
