Video: Armstrong at center of doping ring, agency says



>>> and for years, lance armstrong insisted he never cheated or doped as he won title after title in his sport. recently he stopped fighting and said he would no longer fight the charges by the u.s. anti-doping agency. and now, tonight, they have unveiled their case against him. our senior investigator correspondent lisa myers has a look at the body of evidence.

>> reporter: banned for life and stripped of his tour de france victories, there he was this past two weekends the man once known for his stunning achievements, competing in the race, with his daughters alongside. today, the u.s. anti-doping agency laid out their case, a thousand pages of what they call overwhelming evidence, undeniable evidence of cheating, and a quest to win at all costs.

>> the u.s. postal services pro cycling team , including lance armstrong ran the most sophisticated, successful drug program that we've ever seen.

>> reporter: in all, 11 teammates broke the code of silence , testifying against armstrong , even one who armstrong said was like a brother. he said i'm aware he used blood trans fusions in 2005 and 2001 , he said. he also said that armstrong twice gave him a banned steroid. another teammate, in 2002 , said that armstrong told me if i wanted to continue to ride for the postal service team i would have to follow the doping program to the letter. the report also cites scientific tests from armstrong 's blood from races in 2009 and 2010 . the results were consistent with doping. an expert said the likelihood of this occurring naturally was leng less than one in a million.

>> this is the most extensive in the doping report that i have ever seen.

>> reporter: armstrong 's lawyer calls the report a hatchet job.

>> everybody knows he was the best, and everybody knows he won because he was the best.

>> reporter: so far, arm strong's work to fight cancer, the donations have been more in the last two months and the report says donors still believe in his leadership. lisa myers ,
