Travis Tygart, Chief Executive Officer, US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) speaking at an Anti Doping Information Day
The man who brought down Lance Armstrong told Irish sports leaders yesterday that ‘plea bargaining’ deals are the key to eliminating the scourge of drugs in sport.
Travis Tygart, the chief executive of America’s anti-doping agency, confirmed that USADA was willing to give Armstrong just a six-month ban if he would come clean and dish the dirt on others, an offer he flatly rejected.
