In an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes to air this Sunday, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong said the cyclist was doping the first time he won the Tour de France in 1999.

Tyler Hamilton said Armstrong was using EPO — a performance-enhancing drug that affects production of red blood cells — in 1999 and said he used EPO to prepare for the Tour de France in 2000 and 2001.

"I saw it in his refrigerator," Hamilton said. "I saw him inject it more than one time."
