AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? In a letter to federal authorities, a Wisconsin congressman equates the anti-doping charges against Lance Armstrong to a conspiracy theory and calls the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's authority over the seven-time Tour de France winner "strained at best." Rep. James Sensenbrenner, a Republican, wrote the Office of National Drug Control Policy on Thursday questioning the nearly $10 million in public funding USADA receives, its procedures investigating and charging athletes with doping violations and whether it receives regular oversight. USADA chief executive Travis Tygart said the agency's arbitration process is fair to athletes and he's willing to discuss the agency's funding and policies in detail with Sensenbrenner. The coach of his winning U.S. Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams, Johan Bruyneel, who also has been charged by USADA, faces a Saturday deadline to challenge the case in USADA's arbitration process or accept the charges and sanctions, which likely would include a lifetime ban from sports.
