Am interessantesten im genannten Artikel finde ich den letzten Teil:

In an interview with L’Equipe in France, the head of USADA, Travis Tygart, said he believed all the witnesses his agency interviewed had told the truth and that there had been “confirmation” of this. Tygart might have been referring to the presence of US Justice Department official Mike Pugliese at USADA’s interviews with witnesses.

During the interviews, Pugliese sat silently but with transcripts of interviews these witnesses had given before a Grand Jury or to federal officers in the case against the team that was dropped in February. “As you gave an answer to a question,” one witness said, “you were very conscious of this guy checking it against the answer you had given to the Feds, so you really wanted to make sure you got it right.”

USADA did not receive any material from the aborted federal case and Pugliese sat in on the interviews solely to check if witnesses confirmed accounts given to federal officers and to see if the Justice Department should open a civil case against Armstrong and the owners of the team.

Irgendwie ein merkwürdiges Verhältnis zwischen Staatsanwaltschaft und USADA. USADA bekommt keine Informationen über die Beweise, die die Staatsanwaltschaft schon hat, aber ein Vertreter der Staatsanwaltschaft kontrolliert während der Aussagen vor der USADA, ob diese mit den zuvor gemachten übereinstimmen.

Und generell frage ich mich, warum die USADA offenbar die Macht hat, Athleten zu umfangreichen Aussagen über sich und andere zu bewegen, während unsere NADA nichts dergleichen kann.
