>> lance and, you know, dr. dell bra phenomenal. >> johannes bra kneel, once the director of the u.s. postal team says he will fight the charges at an arbitration later this year. neither bra kneel nor dr. luis demorale has been charged with a crime. both deny the allegations, though tyler hamilton tells a different story. he says after stage 11 of the 2000 tour de france, he and armstrong and kevin livingston had their blood reinfused. everything was handled by the team's management. >> we were in this small hotel. it was pretty wild. i arrived in my room, and the staff had sort of prepared everything, the doctors, and there was a blood bag taped up on the wall, hanging from the wall, and a red tube come -- a tube filled with blood coming down. basically, you know, they injected me here. i have pretty small veins so the one place that always worked was right there. you can see the scars today. >> tyler hamilton says the three riders lay on beds in adjoining rooms with an open door between them. could you see la

on the very first day of his comeback tour de france, lance armstrong won the prologue. >> lance armstrong has delivered a great blow. >> three weeks later, less than three years after being diagnosed with cancer, he won his first tour de france. it would be the first of seven. >> he came back again and again and again, winning tour after tour, and he did it seven times. and of course it's a record. nobody's ever done it, and it's for many people -- for many people it was unacceptable. it was impossible to do that without taking drugs. >> what do you think? >> look, i admit i've been very proud to commentate on armstrong over the years because i've seen a man, see how he's battled the elements how he's come forward and i'm very sad. what do i think? everybody else did it so i find it very difficult not to think lance did it. or geico...as most of you know it. ...i propose savings for everyone! i'm talking hundreds here... and furthermore.. newcaster: breaking news. the gecko is demanding free pudding. and political parties that are actual parties! with cake! and presents! ah, that was good

what did lance say he wanted to do? >> what he agreed to do was the kind of obvious thing and the only thing, back date the prescription so that it technically started before the tour started so that he had already been taking cortisone. the french paper we're about to write a story the following day about it, which is why we had to get that back dated prescription that night. >> and people bought it? >> people bought it. there was a certain irony, because he failed the first drug test he took at the prologue, at start of the very first of the seven tour de frances. it all could have -- if people had been looking for the truth and prepared to listen to the truth then, it all could have stopped then. >> by the time armstrong was racking up his third tour victory, david walsh, a reporter for the sunday times in london, was convinced armstrong was cheating. he tracked down emma o'reilly and betsy andreu. >> he calls up and says, i want to talk to you. >> i thought, if i can help david walsh and if there cob a way to clean

so lance is doing the right thing. >> lance armstrong is stepping down as chairman of his livestrong cancer-fighting charity. he says he wants to step down as a result to limit the damage from the doping scandal involving him. >> he had no choice. everything he touches now is tainted and he doesn't want to soil the good name of cancer. (laughter) so he's distancing himself -- (laughter) he's got to do it. so he's distancing himself from the organization by stepping down as chairman and merely remaining on the board as, you know, i was so inspired by lance arm strong's live strong that i started my own rubber bracelet charity wristrong to raise awareness of wrist--- wrist-related injuries. all too common. it's glorified by hollywood. glorified. by the way -- right here, folks. by the way, you can still purchase wristrong brong bracelets at colbertnation.com, all proceeds go to the yellow ribbon fund that supports the families of wounded troops at walter reed and the fort belvoir community hospital. and, folks -- (cheers and applause) folks, it pains me to say this but, like lance, the

lance is a fallen hero. when it comes to lance we'll come back to nike because that's a fascinating story you just told. when it comes to lance will the public be as tough on him as you have just been? he was, you know, early on as this emerged people said but he did such great stuff with battling his own cans, raising the money does that get washed away in this tsunami of evidence that appears to be out o there against him? >> elliott if you asked the first 100 people you saw name a professional cyclist, they would say lance armstrong. you would say okay, name two. no one would be able to name a second professional cyclist. >> eliot: right. >> that's the power of lance armstrong. he is cycling more than tiger woods is golf. and that makes him somebody who will at least remain in the public eye. in the years to come because cycling is a very rabid sport. he will not be forgotten in that world. and you and i have discussed this. the reservoirs of goodwill that he has generated over the years through livestron

so says a scathing report into lance lance's winning career. a thousand page report from the u.s. anti-doping agency on how the seven times tour de france winner got away with it. >> it paints an undeniable web of, unfortunately, the deepest and the most sophisticated professionalized drug program we've ever seen a team run. >> hello, with the world of news and opinion. also in the program, the airport drama that escalates tensions between turkey and syria. and from moscow and damascus flight that had illegal cargo. the young pakistani girl shot by the taliban because she campaigned for education. still critical and now moved to another hospital. it's midday here in london, 7:00 a.m. in washington where the sporting icon lance armstrong's reputation has suffered yet another blow at the american anti-doping agency labeled him a serial cheat. they have accused him of being at the heart of the most sophisticated doping program ever seen in the sport. it says armstrong used illegal blood and drug transfusions and led his teammates to do the same. >> the american anti-doping agency say

the first time i ever blood doped was with lance it was certainly more lance, basically. i blood doped myself, you know. it was done by the team but it was done for the tour de france so i could be a good teammate for lance armstrong. a lot of it, he wanted you to be riding at your best in the biggest races. for lance, it was all about winning the tour de france. >> a lot of the details in your book, but what surprised me is the depth of the conspiracy and the risks that the team was taking to get the drugs and evade the drug tests. in particular, there was a person referred to as moto man. who was that? what did he do? what was his role? >> moto man was lance's gardiner in the late '90s, early 2000s. it was in the year 1999, we had discussed with this guy felipe, he lived in southern france, in nice, france, and he was -- he rode motorcycles. he was going to deliver epo to us during the tour de france. either at the hotels or right after the stage at our team bus. >> so he would actually follow the tour on his motorcycle and deliver epo to you guys? >> yeah. yeah. yeah.

so unfortunately lance is lance and i don't think he ee's ever that. it's his ability to come back and fight. i don't think he may ever give in. >> do you think, though, there is still hope he can save his reputation and image here? >> this is a really tough one because i think if you look at past situations, whether it's tiger woods, michael vick as i mentioned, this is about cheating and competition and everything is directly related for what he did in doping to his achievements. it's really unfortunate because he's a tremendous athlete. unfort natsly this is going to taint that because this really is all about cheating and scandal, and that -- that's why you look at nike coming forward and having that terse statement and get rid of him after they've had such a strong relationship pause it goes against the grain of what a company wants when they endorse someone. they want fairless and competition and this is just saying that all of that was a complete lie that and a lot of fans, there are many that still support him. robert tuchman from go viva. >> t

lance made live strong. people beloved lance as a cancer survivor but they can't now forget him as the most mechanic melodramatic, over the top liar and cheater in ten years. he made ads talking about the fact that he was innocent. >> who cares? the guy survived cancer, everybody in cycling was doping. every single rider that was not falling off the pace was doping. you know what? they're all equal. >> if he only admitted it. if he had admitted it, everybody was doing it, everyone would have forgiven him. >> maybe come out and done some campaign against doping, maybe nike would have kept him on. right? >> absolutely. look what they did with michael vick. killing dogs. are you kidding me? who likes a dog killer. nobody. michael vick said i did it, i'm going to jail, i'm sorry, and now i'm going to spend my life campaigning to help those dogs. nike said terrific, we'll sign you up. here millions of dollars. lance could have the same thing but he refused. his ego got in the way and he refused to say i'm sorry.

angie's friends say lance had tlented her with a knife. blood tests showed lance was a secretor. in addition, he had an alibi, putting him 370 miles away on the night of the murder. >> he was staying with his parents in amarillo working at the local gym and so they were satisfied that he was not in town when this took place. >> so he was eliminated based on that. >> reporter: and what about ben, angie's oddly, unemotional boyfriend, who officers thought acted strangely the night of the murder? >> the police checked to see whether there were scratches or bruises on him? >> they checked that, they checked his vehicle, they checked his apartment for any type of blood, bloody clothes, anything like that. >> nothing? >> nothing. >> reporter: and tests showed ben was also a secretor. whoever had raped and killed angie was not. so cross ben off the list. >> which leaves russell? >> and he was a non-secretor so he could not be eliminated. >> his alibi that he was home in bed, not exactly the strongest. >> there was no witness that could confirm where he was after he was dropped off by an

lance armstrong has no place in cycling. >> lance armstrong described the investigation and its conclusion as a witch hunt, and his charity with strong has vowed to continue. -- cancer charity livestrong has vowed to continue. he may be forced to pay back enormous sums of money. the titles will not be awarded to another competitor because so many have been tainted by drug accusations. >> still to come, the seasonal flu hits maryland early. the new strain makes flu shots even more important it is at the scary side of the year for moms and dads. -- and it is the scariest night of the year for moms and dads. >> top of a depression number 18. you are just starting to see some circulation here. first, here is an live look at ocean city. you can see the boardwalk and one person out on the beach right now. 64 at b.w.i. thurgood marshall. alert,"day's "consumer halloween is one of this curious knights of the year for parents to chance of being hit by a car is higher on halloween than any other night of the year. if your child is wearing a dark- colored cost him, and reflective tape so that they ca

in fact they are saying it was all lance's idea. live strong had been a very strong defender of lance armstrong through the this entire ordeal and they continue to do so today, saying that cancer patients and their families are not troubled at all by lance armstrong's whoas. but clearly lance armstrong believes that he is now a distraction issuing a statement that said quoting here: today, therefore to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, i will conclude my chairmanship. we should point out that lance armstrong remains on the board of live strong. he will even attend this weekend's charity bike race in texas. jon? >> nike and radio shack are not the only ones dropping armstrong. >> i mean, no. this was like dominoes, when lance armstrong quit live strong a few minutes later nike dropped him and then radio shack dropped him and now we have learned that anheuser-busch issued a statement today saying they will end their relationship with lance armstrong by the end of the ye

it doesn't look at all good for lance, does it? >> it doesn't at all, especially when he's quoted from this usada statement. lance armstrong was given the same opportunity to come forward and be part of the solution. he rejected it. what have we heard. what has cnn heard from lance armstrong or his attorney? >> he had the opportunity earlier this year to fight the charge. he said no. he basically thinks it is a witch-hunt, a kangaroo court. he thinks he can't win anyway. he thinks the whole system is set up to get him and to target him. so he doesn't think he can win. he would rather just not play. his attorney did release a statement last night, you know, basically trotting out the same line, usada continued its efforts through threats and sweetheart deals and generated self-serving media coverage through leaks and piecemeal release of tired, disproven allegations. i don't think lance armstrong will ever admit it, or the other riders doping in this era have put their hands up, they all want to fix the sport and move on. but i don'

[cheers and applause] >> what the hell is wrong with lance armstrong? everybody who has ever known him says he was doping. everybody who ever rode with him, everybody who ever slept with him, everybody who jammed a needle in his tank. they all say he was doping. but not lance. >> after a decade of fighting with the united states anti-doping agency professional cyclist lance armstrong has given up. >> he insists he is innocent but says he's tired of fighting. these things take time and energy and suck the life out of you. >> that sucks the life out of you. you win a 2,000 mile bike race seven years in a row and going to court once a month is too much work? but i suppose this does explain his new deny strong bracelet.

not as bad as lance armstrong's. the same group that banned him from ever competing in a bicycle race, the group that took away his tour de france titles published a report saying he ran, quote, the most sophisticated and successful doping program the sport has ever seen. poof. poof, went his sponsors. nike and radio shack, gone. poof went the chairmanship of his foundation, livestrong. now, that is a bad week. last night in austin, lance armstrong spoke in public for the first time since all this went down. and he got a bit philosophical. listen. >> this mission is bigger than me. it's bigger than any individual. there's 28 million people around the world living with this disease. martin luther king said once, we must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope. >> michael birdsong joining me live. i want your reaction to lance armstrong, what he just said. he just quoted dr. martin luther king, jr., about not losing infinite hope. what do you think? >> i think it's a great quote, but the thing is, he'

lance armstrong was once regarded as a miracle man. not only did he win a record- breaking seven titles, he overcame cancer. the week after damning allegations were published against them, he was stripped of his car sponsorship deal with nike. he has announced that he is stepping down as chairman of his cancer charity. >> accused of being edgy, a starstruck career in danger of disintegrating. the scandal engulfing the champion gets bigger. his long-standing sponsored doesn't want to be associated with lance armstrong anymore. more than 1000 pages by the u.s. anti-doping agency, too strong to be ignored. despite constant in the aisles of wrongdoing. the announcement was made within minutes of another stunning revelation. he stepped down as chairman of the cancer charity he founded. live strong has raised hundreds of millions of dollars fighting the disease with them as its figurehead. in his first public statement since the release of the report, he said he had to distance himself from the foundation to spare it from being tarnished by

lance was the tour de france. yes, he's the cancer icon, of course. he's done great things which makes this such a tragedy. but at the core without the bike, without the victory, he's just another person talking about tan ser. so that's what makes it so devastate ing is the fact that now he is seen as one of the worst liars and cheats probably ever in sports and maybe ever in our culture. it's that big of a deal. then obviously everything else is called into question >> suarez: what about other kinds of embarrassments, disgraces? the taking away of titles that we've seen with other athletes. some of them find a way to crawl back into the public's good graces. some of them don't. how do we distinguish between those? >> certainly it helps to still be playing your sport. so tiger woods, michael vic, kobe bryant, all those names, they all had the opportunity to come back on the field to play and have that second act that americans, especially american sports fans love to see so much. lance armstrong, 41 years old, not only has he retired because of his ag
