Lance Armstrong whistle-blower tells Peyton Manning sexual assault victim: 'Fight Back Hard'

A decade ago, she was the female whistle-blower telling the inconvenient truth about another sports hero: seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong.

When she and husband Frankie Andreu testified under oath that Armstrong told cancer doctors in their presence he used illegal performance-enhancing drugs, their testimony was leaked to the media. The couple was hit with "brutal" criticism for daring to accuse the cycling superstar.
