In a
startling day of allegations and confessions, core members of the cycling teams that helped Lance Armstrong win seven Tour de France titles acknowledged publicly, for the first time, that they had cheated by
taking banned substances.
曾经帮助阿姆斯特朗(Lance Armstrong)赢得七次环法自行车赛冠军的数支自行车队的核心成员首次公开承认,自己曾有过服用违禁药品的舞弊行为。
George Hincapie, Armstrong's close friend and teammate during all seven of his Tour de France wins, broke his silence on the matter Wednesday, issuing a statement in which he confessed to doping and acknowledged providing
testimony to investigators. Fellow Armstrong teammate Levi Leipheimer, in a letter to The Wall Street Journal, also admitted doping for the first time.
阿姆斯特朗的好友、在他获得冠军的七次环法比赛中均为其队友的因卡皮耶(George Hincapie)周三打破在这件事情上的沉默,发布了一份声明,承认自己曾服用兴奋剂,并承认他曾向调查者作证。阿姆斯特朗的另一名队友莱法伊默(Levi Leipheimer)在给《华尔街日报》的一封信中也首次承认自己服用过兴奋剂。
These admissions came as the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency - the
enforcement arm for drug use in American sports - issued a blistering 202-page report detailing its decision to ban former cycling
champion Lance Armstrong from
competition for life and strip him of his titles.
与此同时,负责监管美国运动员药品使用情况的执行机构美国反兴奋剂机构(U.S. Anti-Doping Agency)发布了一份长达202页的严厉报告,详细解释了对前自行车赛冠军阿姆斯特朗实施终身禁赛处罚、并剥夺其冠军头衔的决定。
The report summarized
testimony from a total of 11 former Armstrong teammates who met with the USADA to discuss the use of banned substances and methods on Armstrong's former U.S. Postal Service cycling team. The list includes many of the country's top pro cyclists: Frankie Andreu, Michael Barry, Tom Danielson, Tyler Hamilton, George Hincapie, Floyd Landis, Levi Leipheimer, Stephen Swart, Christian Vande Velde, Jonathan Vaughters and David Zabriskie. All of these riders have now admitted to
taking banned substances.

The
testimony and other evidence released Wednesday showed what USADA alleged to be a vast
network of organized doping orchestrated by Armstrong and a
handful of associates that was designed to push human bodies beyond their natural capabilities.
周三公布的证言和其他证据揭示出美国反兴奋剂机构所称的有组织服用兴奋剂的巨大关系网络,这个网络由阿姆斯特朗和一些同伙组织策划,旨在让人类体能超越生理极限。
