An attorney for Lance Armstrong said the disgraced cyclist will not be able to meet the US Anti-Doping Agency’s (USADA) deadline for him to answer questions under oath, and suggested his client would rather participate in international efforts to ‘clear the air’.
In a letter to the USADA, attorney Timothy Herman said that while the athlete was willing to cooperate with the agency, its request to interview him in the next two weeks ‘cannot be accommodated’, citing pre-existing obligations. The USADA set a February 6 deadline for Armstrong to cooperate with its investigation in return for a possible lifting of his lifetime ban from cycling.
