Armstrong's former companion recounts in his book "The Secret Race," which was published in September, detailing how they got the drugs, how they stored them, how they were delivered and injected to cyclists. He even notices that they were carrying the syringes in a soda can.

"It's humanly impossible to win 7 Tours without a sport," said Lance in an interview conducted by Oprah Winfrey in January 2013. He had denied everything repeatedly.

"I did not feel cheated, I was afraid, but I will spend the rest of my life begging for forgiveness."
