Soo koob maqaalka:  Lance Armstrong waxaa loo sheegay in ay noqon doonto "si buuxda ixtiraam darro ah" in uu ku lug yeesho qayb ka mid ah wadada Tour de France xagaagan madaxa baaskiilka adduunka. Sida laga soo xigtay wargeyska Mail on Sunday, Armstrong wuxuu ogolaaday codsi uu ka helay ciyaaryahankii hore ee England, Geoff Thomas oo isna ka badbaaday kansarka si uu ugu biiro lacag ururinta xagaagan dagaalka ka dhanka ah cudurka dilaaga ah. Thomas iyo koox baaskiil wadayaal ah ayaa wadada Tour-ka ku wadi doona maalin ka hor kooxda xirfadleyda ah wuxuuna u safray Austin bishii la soo dhaafay si uu ugu dhaadhiciyo ninka muranka badan dhaliyay ee Mareykanku inuu taageero dhacdada laba marxaladood. Laakiin hindisaha ayaa kala qaybiyey fikradaha ku saabsan baaskiil wadista, iyadoo Sir Dave Brailsford uu soo jeediyay in Armstrong uu horey u "waxyeelo ku filan u geystay" iyo madaxweynaha UCI Brian Cookson oo sidoo kale ku booriyay ninka laga qaaday toddobadii horyaal ee Tour ee doping inuu ka fogaado Faransiiska xagaagan. Lance Armstrong (bidix) wuxuu ku biiri doonaa Geoff Thomas's Cure Leukemia safarka samafalka ee koorsada Tour de France. Lance Armstrong oo ku soo laabtay Tour de France halka Geoff Thomas uu ku qanciyay guuleyste hore in uu safka hore kaga baxo si loogu caawiyo dadka qaba kansarka. Isaga oo ka hadlayey dhacdo ka dhacday London Talaadadii, Cookson wuxuu sheegay Armstrong "waa lagula talin lahaa inuusan ka qeyb galin" dhacdada oo uu rajeynayo inuu ku ururiyo £ 1 milyan oo loogu talagalay kansarka dhiigga. "Waan hubaa in Geoff Thomas ujeedkiisu wanaagsan yahay, laakiin runtii waxaan u maleynayaa inaysan ku habboonayn oo aysan ixtiraam u lahayn Tour, ixtiraam la'aan wadayaasha hadda jira, iyo ixtiraam la'aan UCI iyo bulshada ka hortagga isticmaalka daroogada", Cookson ayaa yiri. Waxaan u malaynayaa in Lance uu caqli badan yahay in uusan ka qeybqaadan. Toddobaad uun ka dib markii warbixinta CIRC ee ku saabsan isticmaalka baaskiillada <unk> ee uu amray Cookson <unk> ay shaaca ka qaaday in isticmaalka walxaha la mamnuucay ay weli tahay dhibaato weyn oo ka jirta isboortiga, qaar ayaa laga yaabaa inay su'aal ka keenaan in baaskiil wadista xirfadeed ay xitaa ka walaacsan tahay baaskiil wadista samafalka. Orodyahanka ceebta ku dhacday, oo laga qaaday toddobadii horyaal ee Le Tour, wuxuu doonayaa inuu dib ugu laabto shaqada la dagaalanka kansarka. Thomas waxa uu diyaar u yahay in uu sameeyo safar sadaqo ah. Waxaa jira dawooyin la xukumay oo hadda ku tartamaya tartanka pro Tour...
