Sheryl Crow Allegedly Interviewed In Lance Armstrong Doping Scandal
Sheryl Crow, Lance Armstrong’s former fiancée, was allegedly interviewed by federal agents investigating doping allegations against the athlete. The Grammy award-winning singer is said to have first met with federal officials to discuss the Tour de France winner’s habits, in 2011. On August 24, the US Anti-Doping Agency stripped Armstrong of his Tour de France racing titles and banned him from professionally competing again.
The accomplished racer dropped his legal challenge against the doping accusations; more than 10 fellow bicyclists were prepared to cooperate with federal agents. The New York Daily News reports that the musician provided information to the Feds about her former love’s alleged training habits. Before the grand jury investigation into the cyclist’s exercise habits abruptly closed last year, the blonde singer reportedly sat down with case reviewers to discuss what she may have witnessed.
Last week the champion cyclist stated publicly that he was done answering questions about the blood enhancement claims, but has since commented that he “competed clean” during races. Neither Food and Drug Administration criminal investigator Jeff Novitzky nor the banned athlete are currently willing to comment about the interview with Sheryl Crow, the New York Daily News reports.
The songwriter and the swift-peddling bicyclist publicly announced their couple status in 2003, after Lance Armstrong ended his five-year marriage to wife, Kristen. The new romance flourished and spanned through the athlete’s next two bicycle racing competitions in France. Their engagement ended in 2006 after five months – two weeks before the songwriter announced she had breast cancer. The break-up of the once jet-setting couple appears to have been amicable, with both speaking kindly of one another after the split.

Really? Aren't there better things to do than re hash an 8 year old issue. Hasn't he been stripped and banned of his accomplishments from this?

this was reported on our local news at the time. Eight years ago. OLD NEWS and Sheryl Crow has nothing to do with it.

The truth is the USADA doesn't have the power to strip Lance of his titles. Whether he doped or not, arranging 10 cycling athletes, all of whom admitted to doping themselves, to testify against Lance after he passed every test and screen is dumb. As the USADA is funded by the US federal government, how much money have we wasted trying to ruin one of our own? Everyone in cycling dopes, it's the most ridiculous thing ever to single out one athlete for investigation without investigating the sport as a whole. Lance has passed every drug screen he's taken, more than 200 of them. It looks bad that he's not fighting it anymore, but how long is the USADA going to pursue Lance? To go back and re-test samples from 6 – 12 years ago is called a witch hunt. For all the good Lance has done through the LiveStrong Foundation, and the awareness he's brought to cycling int he US, he deserves some credit. He was always a dominant cyclist, even in his youth. He survived cancer. He trained like a maniac. And because the cycling world is a bunch of jealous crybabies, they want to sacrifice Lance on the alter of abject hypocrisy. Have they gone after any other Tour de France winner like this? I don't think so. I say he keeps his titles and the sport as a whole gets investigated.

Lance would have caught grief even if he has continued to fight. Ever heard the phrase, "Thou protesteth too much"? When someone is hounded, and hounded and hounded some more like Lance has, and no matter what sort of evidence he provided (clean tests, etc.)… the people heading up this witch hunt won't accept it– he may have just gotten to the point where he said, "Enough's enough. You'll believe what you want to believe no matter what. I can prove to you all day long that the sky is blue, but since you're determined to think that it's orange no matter how much I prove otherwise– so be it. I'm done!" Notice how the committee isn't goinmg back and retesting every other TdF winner's samples from decades ago– only Lance's? It IS a witch hunt. I'm backing Lance on this, big time!
