In sworn testimony from the Floyd Landis-U.S. federal government whistleblower lawsuit against him, Lance Armstrong has not only admitted that his Triple Crown win in 1993 and resulting $1 million bonus came about after the rival Coors Light team was paid to let him win, but that longtime U.S. cycling insider and current BMC Racing Team manager Jim Ochowicz orchestrated it.

Rumors of the paid collusion at the June 1993 race series have swirled for years. And in a 2013 interview with “Corrierre della Sella,” former pro Roberto Gaggioli said Armstrong showed up at his home in Bergamo, Italy, in October of that year to make good on the deal by handing him a cake box containing $100,000. But Armstrong’s September 24, 2015, testimony, obtained this week by VeloNews, is the first time he has confirmed that the deal happened, that it was orchestrated by his Motorola team, and that he knew about it.
In addition to naming Ochowicz, Armstrong also implicated Phil Anderson, an Australian veteran who rode for Motorola at the time.
The transcript reads as follows:
Paul Scott [a member of Landis’ legal team]: Did anybody offer to pay any money on your behalf to any member of the Coors Light cycling team to allow you to win any stage of that race?
Armstrong: I believe that Jim Ochowicz, perhaps Phil Anderson, negotiated some package with Coors Light.”

I received a few texts, emails, and comments here about the “revelation” that Och knew about the exchange of money between Lance and the Coors Light Team after the Triple Crown in 1993.
Even Alexi came out from hiding to make a comment. Alexi called Och a liar, saying he was there when the Coors Light team voted to sell out. Here’s Alexi, confessing to having a “paper bag” full of money, calling Jim Ochowicz a liar.
Alexi: I was there I voted in the team meeting about the deal, it happened, my money came in cash Ron Kiefel handed it to me in a paper bag, Ochowicz is lying.
For me, this isn’t anything new. I wrote a post about this whole episode nearly 3 years ago to the day. You see, I was there and witnessed the whole thing. It was so obvious that the race/races were fixed that it didn’t take a brain surgeon to know about it immediately. What was/is amazing that they actually kept the whole thing quiet for nearly 20 years.”
