Charges Emma O'Reilly, formerly Armstrong's personal masseuse, makes in the book:
  • Armstrong told O'Reilly his hematocrit was 41, nine percent below the permitted maximum, and that he was "going to do what the others do" to enhance it.
  • In July 1999, Armstrong asked her for makeup to cover bruises on his arm from injections. The authors maintain that legal injections are generally injected in the buttocks.
  • In May 1998, Armstrong asked her to dispose of syringes after the Tour of the Netherlands.
  • In May 1999, she ferried 24 pills from Johan Bruyneel, the USPS team director, to Armstrong near his home in Nice.
  • She provides details of Armstrong's 1999 positive test for steroids, claiming Armstrong told her he had used a steroid around the time of the Route du Sud that he thought would have cleared his system before the Tour. O'Reilly says doctors backdated a prescription for a legal cream containing the steroid, and organizers allowed it, even though the cream wasn't listed on Armstrong's mandatory medical form.
If Emma is lying, has she been sued for defamation?

The latest has been the suit-countersuit drama in an Austin, Texas, court between Armstrong and his former assistant, Mike Anderson. Those filings late last week brought allegations that Anderson had found a box labelled for steroids in Armstrong's Girona, Spain, apartment -- an allegation that Armstrong categorically denies.

The Armstrong libel suits [LA Confidential] have been dismissed in France, but are still being considered in Great Britain
