Lance Armstrong Under Federal investing

The U.S. Attorney's office is reportedly in the midst of an active criminal investigation of
the disgraced, 41-year-old former Tour de France champion.
According to an ABC source, who agreed to speak to the network the condition that his name
and position were not used regarding the matter:
"Agents are actively investigating Armstrong for obstruction, witness tampering and
intimidation" at various points in his (falsely) acclaimed career.
The revelation marks a contrast with the U.S. Attorney for Southern California, Andre
Birotte, whose own criminal inquiry of Armstrong was/is underway.
Birotte's office spent nearly two years investigating Armstrong for crimes reportedly
including drug distribution, fraud and conspiracy, only to drop the case in 2012.
Sources at the time said that agents had recommended an indictment against Armstrong. and
could not understand why the case was suddenly dropped
