Revision as of 16:33, 17 July 2006 by Socafan (talk | contribs) (neutral wording)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)David Walsh is a British sports reporter of the London Sunday Times. In 2001 he revealed that Lance Armstrong was treated by Michele Ferrari who was ruled guilty of sports abuse. In 2004, Walsh published the book LA confidential - The Secrets of Lance Armstrong together with French reporter Pierre Ballester about alleged drug abuse by Armstrong. It contains allegations by Armstrong's former masseuse Emma O'Reilly and according to the Guardian "circumstantial evidence to support its claim that he may have used performance-enhancing drugs".
Walsh wrote about the book in the Sunday Times in terms which conveyed the impression that Armstrong was guilty of doping. Armstrong successfully sued the Sunday Times. Cases for defamation against Walsh and co-author Ballenger are still pending. A UCI inquiry rejected claims about positive doing samples by Armstrong. The World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) rejects UCI's findings about Armstrong's alleged drug abuse.
