“Lance Armstrong is probably one of the biggest frauds and cheats in professional sport, and he’s out there making judgements – I think he’s the least credible guy to make those judgements,” Novitzky told reporters, including MMAjunkie. “These same experts that are doing these studies and putting out these facts are the ones that basically exposed him as the biggest fraud in sports. So in my mind, that guy has no credibility. He can say whatever he wants to say. I don’t pay him any attention.”
