Activating Frankie Andreu's Honesty

Frankie Andreu, one of Lance Armstrong's ex-teammates, has told the New York Times that he took drugs to help Armstrong win the Tour de France in 1999.

“There are two levels of guys,” Andreu said. “You got the guys that cheat and guys that are just trying to survive.”

Last fall, Frankie and his wife, Betsy, testified that Armstrong had admitted to doctors after his cancer diagnosis that he had used all sorts of performance-enhancing substances.

Armstrong responded by testifying that Betsy had lied because “she hates me,” and that Frankie had lied because “he’s trying to back up his old lady.” Touche, Lance! Next you should threaten to beat up Frankie at recess.
