Lance Armstrong and his lawyers are PISSED at 60 Minutes!
After the show ran a segment about Armstrong using performance-enhancing drugs, Lance and his lawyers got Switzlerland’s anti-doping laboratory to confirm that Lance didn’t use drugs during the 2001 Tour de Suisse (the race that CBS alleged he cheated by doping).
Lawyer Elliot Peters is calling on CBS to apologize:
“In the cold light of morning your story was either extraordinarily shoddy, to the point of being reckless and unprofessional, or a vicious hit-and-run job. In either case, a categorical on-air apology is required.”
But it doesn’t look like they will get the apology.
Said CBS News spokesman Kevin Tedesco:
“We consider this the most thorough investigation into doping in the sport of cycling ever done.”
Yikes.
This is getting ugly!!
