Cycling: ‘Armstrong report weighing on me’
Hometown hero George Hincapie says a television report of what he told a US grand jury about Lance Armstrong.
GREENVILLE:
Hometown hero George Hincapie says a television report of what he told a US grand jury about Lance Armstrong has weighed on his mind ahead of the US Pro Cycling Championships. Former Armstrong teammate Hincapie said nothing else regarding the report on the CBS show ‘60 Minutes’ but added that he is trying to concentrate on the ‘good things in my life and I’ve got a lot of those’. The CBS report, focused upon claims by former Armstrong teammate Tyler Hamilton, cited unnamed sources in adding that Hincapie had told federal investigators that he and Armstrong supplied each other with banned performance-enhancing drugs and discussed the taking of other drugs. Armstrong has denied all allegation against him that say he took illegal substances during the 1996 event.
