Lance Armstrong says he was 'probably 21' when he first doped

LONDON: Tainted American cyclist Lance Armstrong recently revealed the first time he took drugs was when he was 'probably' 21-years-old. Armstrong was stripped off his seven Tour de France titles in 2012 after being found guilty of doping and his Olympic Bronze was also taken away which he won at Sydney 2000. Speaking during an interview which was part of an ESPN documentary, Armstrong was asked about his age when he first doped and his reply, as per The Sun, was: "Probably 21."

Armstrong turned 22 just a month after becoming 1993 road race world champion, having turned professional just a season prior. "The easiest way to define it, it's breaking the rules. Were we getting injections of vitamins and other things from an earlier age? Yes. But they weren't illegal," Armstrong said. IANS
