Live Updates on the Armstrong Doping Case
The Lede is following the reaction on Wednesday to the release of a 202-page report by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, in support of its decision to strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles for systematic cheating. Readers are encouraged to help The Times annotate the report by scouring the document for new information and posting insights and observations in the comment thread below or directing comments to me on Twitter @RobertMackey.
The Armstrong Doping Report
As my colleague Juliet Macur reports, on Wednesday the United States Anti-Doping Agency sent the governing body of world cycling more than 1000 pages of evidence to support its finding that Lance Armstrong won seven Tour de France titles thanks to “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.â€
The agency also made public a 202-page report summarizing its doping file on Mr. Armstrong, who denies ever using performance-enhancing drugs or blood-doping. Readers are encouraged to help The Times crowd-source the document by pointing to important details and new revelations.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform meets on Wednesday as part of its investigation into the attack last month at the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
As my colleagues Michael S. Schmidt and Eric Schmitt report, the House committee hearing is expected to focus on possible security lapses at the mission; potential intelligence failures in assessing a growing militant threat and whether the Obama administration underestimated the dangers posed by Al Qaeda's franchise in n orthern Africa and other extremist groups in Libya.
Among those expected to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are two senior State Department officials responsible for embassy security worldwide, a former head of security at the United States Embassy in Tripoli and the former head of an American military team assigned to provide security at the embassy.
