Lance Armstrong: UCI hits back at Usada chief Travis Tygart's 'cover-up' claims

Cycling's world governing body has strongly refuted claims that it was complicit in a cover-up of Lance Armstrong's doping.
"Simply, the UCI was left with no choice but to close it down; it made no sense to go forward without the participation of these two bodies. "One can only assume that their refusal to cooperate with the independent commission was due to their fear that their own shortcomings would be exposed. "No attempt by Travis Tygart to rewrite history will change the fact that Usada failed to catch Lance Armstrong having tested him just 49 times during his career. The UCI by comparison tested Armstrong 189 times."
