Texas Cycling Champ Glad Doping Investigation Is Over

AUSTIN (February 9, 2012)—Texas cycling legend Lance Armstrong says he is relieved the federal investigation into doping allegations against him has ended, and says he was always confident he would not be charged.

Armstrong spoke by phone Thursday to The Associated Press in his first interview since prosecutors closed their nearly two-year investigation last Friday.

He said the decision not to bring charges should end any questions or rumors about doping during his career.

Armstrong, who won the Tour de France every year from 1999-2005, says he quietly celebrated the end of the investigation with his family and a beer at his home in Austin.

He’s scheduled to travel this weekend to Panama City, Panama to compete Sunday in a triathlon.

He also says he'll spend this year supporting an anti- smoking campaign in California.
