COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says 11 of Lance Armstrong's former teammates testified against him in its investigation of the cyclist, revealing "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."

USADA will deliver its reasoned decision against Armstrong later Wednesday, a summary of the facts it used to hand him a lifetime suspension and erase his seven Tour de France titles.

In a news release previewing the decision, USADA CEO Travis Tygart listed 11 of Armstrong's former teammates, including George Hincapie, Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton, as among those providing evidence that led to the sanction.

In delivering the report to the International Cycling Union, Tygart called for the federation to create a program to help clean up the sport.

Make sure you close loop holes with the system and don't let it happen again. Never report somebody for this after the fact and years later.I respect Armstrong for what he achieved not what he did but 11 people I do not have respect for. For me their 15 minutes of fame is really 15 minutes of shame nd t think they have friends. Armstrong did something wrong but let sleeping dogs lie.
