Everyone knows that. But the story most people haven't heard is about the organisation that was supposed to catch him — and didn't. In 2002, Armstrong paid $125,000 to the UCI, the governing body of cycling, through his foundation. The UCI was the organisation responsible for testing him. The payment is documented in the USADA Reasoned Decision — the official 202-page report that ended Armstrong's career in 2012. In File #016, we investigate the full institutional failure behind Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France victories. The six positive EPO samples from 1999 that were never acted upon. The 2001 Tour de Suisse test that triggered a preliminary positive result with no consequence. The witnesses — including Betsy Andreu and Christophe Bassons — that the UCI never contacted. And the CIRC report of 2015 that found a "climate of complicity" without holding anyone accountable. The Bike Files — investigative documentary cycling. #cycling #lancearmstrong #UCI #tourdefrance #dopingscandal #thebikefile #cyclingscandal #USADA #cyclingdocumentary #lancearmstrongdoping s2oikXp6XlJ 5GArmrgOQ1N p7sAO5dCvjH nDI4URpZFQ4 LryA2ZLxw4A
