Disgraced US cycling star Lance Armstrong said in an interview broadcast January 17, 2013 that he was "sorry" for taking performance-enhancing drugs during his career and that it was a mistake. "I made my decisions. They're my mistake. And I'm sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I'm sorry for that," the seven-time Tour de France winner said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. "The culture was what it was." Armstrong also says he did not dope in the 2009 and 2010 Tour de France. AFP PHOTO / JOEL SAGET / FILES

U četvrtak je plasirana priča po svjetskim medijima kako je Lance Armstrong promijenio sport. Jedanaest tjedana nakon prizanja korištenja dopinga ovaj se bivši biciklist trebao vratiti sportu, točnije, plivanju...

Svjetski mediji naveli su da će 41-godišnji Armstrong nadolazećeg vikenda nastupiti na plivačkom mitingu u Austinu, glavnom gradu Teksasa, na natjecanju koje nije pod ingerencijom Svjetske antidopinške agencije (WADA), niti Američke antidopinške agencije (USADA). Podsjećamo, spomenute su mu organizacije zbog dopinga izrekle doživotnu zabranu natjecanja u profesionalnom sportu.

Prijavio se, inače, Armstrong za utrke na 500, 1000 i 1650 jardi (457, 914 i 1509 metara) slobodnim stilom.

No, na takvo što je primjedbu imala Međunarodna plivačka organizacija (FINA), koja je navela kako je spomenuto natjecanje pod okriljem Svjetskog antidopinškog kodeksa i da je time zabranjen nastup nekadašnjem biciklističkom asu.

Rob Butcher, direktor plivačkog natjecanja u Austinu, je o tome obavijestio Armstronga, a ovaj se potom povukao.
