Former Teammate Says Lance Armstrong Took EPO

Former teammate of Lance Armstrong, Tyler Hamilton, is telling 60 Minutes that he and Lance used the performing-enhancing drug EPO, a blood-booster, in the 1999 Tour de France.

"I saw [EPO] in his refrigerator. ... I saw him inject it more than one time," Hamilton said, "like we all did. Like I did, many, many times."

Hamilton told 60 Minutes reporter Scott Pelley: "[Armstrong] took what we all took ... the majority of the peloton," referring to riders in the race. "There was EPO ... testosterone ... a blood transfusion."

This could be a big blow to Lance's career, even more so than his Michelob Ultra commercials.
