Appears Phil Liggert is claiming that US Federal Investigators offered to pay people to lie about Lance Armstrong.
These are very serious allegations from Phil. He suggests that a person (unnamed) in Boulder Colorodo was offered money and to "never need to work again" if he stated Armstrong used drugs.
Phil the voice of cycling might need to provide more details around these allegations. Including naming the person who made the claim to him.
He also suggests USADA paid their witnesses. Another claim that might need some evidence.

Darryl Webster said:These accusations , while laughable are also very serious coming from a guy very respected as a commentator by the general public and unaware cycling fraternity.
I'm utterly disgusted by him . He deserves a full investigation by relevant authorities.

So, I guess my question is: can someone who's worked in the sport as long as Liggett truly believe the stuff he came out with? My initial reaction was no definitely not. But, as people have pointed out, I guess if the alternative is accepting that someone who you've known and worked with for over a decade is a liar and a cheat, then you might just choose to live in denial.
Either way it's a shoddy commentary on the whole saga, I hope someone has a quiet word and asks him if he maybe thinks it's time to hang up the old microphone.
