Sheryl Crow Reportedly Told Feds About Lance Armstrong’s Illicit Activities

It seems that a little birdie might have sung to federal investigators about bicyclist Lance Armstrong’s illicit activities. Singer Sheryl Crow reportedly told the feds that Armstrong received a blood transfusion during a trip to Belgium in 2004, according to a 2013 book called “Wheelmen,” which details the doping conspiracy that propelled Armstrong’s cycling teams. “Rather than try to hide the transfusion from her, Armstrong was completely open about it,” authors Reed Albergotti and Vanessa O’Connell write, via the New York Daily News. “He trusted that Crow would have no desire to tell the press or anyone else about the team’s doping program. He explained that it was simply part of the sport — that all cyclists were doing the same thing.” Crow and Armstrong were dating at the time, and the singer and cyclist were later engaged, but they split in 2006.

Erithropoietin shouldn't make a difference . So many people were let down, that I don't see the benefits in ratting him out.
