Lance Armstrong’s former team mate Tyler Hamilton said in a BBC radio documentary yesterday that during the 1999 Tour de France, Armstrong paid a motorcyclist to deliver the banned bloodbooster EPO to him.

Said Hamilton, who was one of Armstrong’s US Postal team team mates from 1998 to 2001:

Yeah in ’99 we had a motorcycle driver… We had him follow the Tour around for the better part of three weeks. He’d stay close enough to where we were staying at the hotels to drop off at any key moment. He had a secret phone, we had secret phones, and um, Lance would give the word… We knew other people were going to take risks so we were gonna take it too. Lance paid him between $15 000 and $20 000 to do it. Then, as Lance had won the Tour, we would all club together to buy him a Rolex watch. Somewhere out there he’s wearing a gold Rolex watch.

Hamilton continued that they would put the used syringes into drinks cans before crushing them.
