When asked to name every person or entity he has paid to keep his doping secret, Armstrong denied to answers and stated:
"Armstrong has not paid or offered to pay someone to keep his or others' doping a secret," he stated.
"However, Armstrong has, on occasion, provided benefits or made contributions to many people and institutions, some of whom may have been aware of, or suspected Armstrong's use of performance-enhancing drugs and banned methods. Armstrong never provided any such benefits or contributions with the intent for it to be a payoff to keep doping a secret."
