“This is absolutely false” , Andreu said in USA Today Wednesday: “I ran by being completely ‘clean’ for a long time and during the period when I took EPO was intermittently. That does not excuse my decision was wrong. “

Andreu used EPO to prepare for the Tour de France 1999, though reports of his doping usage were known at least as early as 1998.
They were teammates on the 1992-1996 Motorola team and the US Postal from 1998 – 2000. They were friends and Frankie Andreu until his wife Betsy became the US Anti-Doping Committee (USADA) opposition to establish that Arsmtrong Lance had doped throughout his career. “I do not understand why we are so obsessed with Lance” said Betsy Andreu. “We do not want him to apologize but stop lying. Who should we believe between a pathological liar and people who repeat the truth for over a decade?”
Then again, why does she refuse to admit the rest of the doping cyclists on the teams?
