USA Cycling backs Armstrong amid doping allegations
USA Cycling chief executive Gerard Bisceglia called accusations about Lance Armstrong completely without credibility. Armstrong denies French reports of a banned EPO test on 1999 Tour samples as L'Equipe claims, while Bisceglia argues years-old testing with new tech lacks credibility and pledges support for Armstrong in pursuing action if desired. Meanwhile Lindsay Davenport resumes No. 1 in women's tennis after beating Anna Chakvetadze 6-3 6-3 to reach the Pilot Pen final with Mauresmo, who defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues 4-6 7-6 6-2.
