Lance’s team is refuting claims by 60 Minutes and vice versa. Once of Lance’s lawyers, Robert Luskin has reportedly said in an interview that he had repeatedly informed CBS that “if you want us to respond meaningfully beyond a simple denial, you need to tell us who the witnesses are.” He said some of the allegations were nearly 15 years old and that some of the accusers could be “people in the Lance-hater category who have made sworn statements at odds with what they’re telling 60 Minutes now.”
Without the names of the witnesses, said Luskin, “we’re not going to set him up for an ambush.”
Armstrong has reportedly said: “I’ve been a fan of the program for a long time. I was certainly willing to participate, especially early on when they said we have some guys saying X, Y, and Z and they would share that with us.” Those assurances soon evaporated according to Fager of CBS.
