The International Cycling Union (UCI) did all it could to stall its doping investigation into Lance Armstrong, U.S. Anti-Doping Agency chief executive Travis Tygart said Wednesday.

The World Anti-Doping Agency called the UCI "deceitful" Tuesday for shutting down its independent doping panel and said it won't participate in an amnesty commission set up by the cycling governing body.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) disbanded what is claimed was an independent commission put together to review any involvement the cycling governing body had in the Lance Armstrong scandal, saying it will go ahead with a "truth and reconciliation commission" instead.

The only way to move forward is to acknowledge the past.

Team Sky Procycling's Bradley Wiggins is convinced Lance Armstrong doped when the American returned to professional cycling in 2009 and claims he was robbed of finishing on the podium in the Tour de France that year.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) disputes a claim by former international cycling union (UCI) president and current honorary president Hein Verbruggen that discussing suspicious doping samples with athletes was the normal practice in sports.

UCI Honorary President Hein Verbruggen says the International Cycling Union (UCI) held meetings with riders, including Lance Armstrong, to warn them when suspicious test values showed they were coming close to testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.

Step one towards redemption is complete. What's step two?

Alberto Contador, a two-time winner of the Tour de France who was stripped of a third title for using a banned substance, says cycling needs to take something positive from the Lance Armstrong scandal.

First shunned, then vilified by Lance Armstrong, Mike Anderson had to move to the other side of the world to get his life back.
