Canadian cyclist Barry admits to doping as part of Armstrong investigation
TORONTO – Canadian cyclist Michael Barry has admitted to doping.
The Toronto native made the admission in a statement after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said he testified against former teammate Lance Armstrong in a doping investigation.
The U.S. doping agency says 11 cyclists testified in the Armstrong investigation.
In a release issued Wednesday, Barry says he doped while a member of the Armstrong-led United States Postal Service team.
He says he deeply regrets the decision, which caused him sleepless nights and tainted the success he had at the time.
Barry says hasn’t doped since the summer of 2006.
He apologized and said he would accept a suspension or other consequences.
