Brian Cookson, the president of British Cycling, has urged Lance Armstrong to name names and tell all when he addresses the damning doping accusations against him later this week.
Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by the International Cycling Union (UCI) last year, is due
to be interviewed on American television by Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. The 41-year-old has maintained a silence since the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) prompted the UCI's action by claiming that Armstrong and his US Postal team had run "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen".
Prior to that, Armstrong had spent years denying doping allegations against him, but there is speculation that he will make at least a partial admission after the Oprah Winfrey Network confirmed the issue would be addressed.
Cookson told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme: "For me, the real thing that has to come out is who were these other people involved, who were the people supplying and helping him, the doctors that helped him, the companies that supplied him. Some of the stuff he was taking, apparently, was still in clinical trials so how on earth did he get hold of this kind of stuff?
"If the allegations that he bribed people, that he was given a nod and a wink when the testers were approaching his house and all this kind of thing, are true, let's have that information.
