12 Celebs who paid people off to shut up – You will be surprised to see this! (With Pictures)

5. Lance Armstrong

Once it was revealed that former pro cyclist Lance Armstrongwas using steroids, it was easy for the public to overlook some of his other indiscretions. For instance, Armstrong allegedly paid cyclist Roberto Gaggioli to throw a race in 1993. The price for the task was $100,000, and the race would earn Lane $1 million if he won. It was understood that Gaggioli was supposed to keep quiet about the incident. Reportedly, Armstrong brought the prize money to Roberto in a cake box, Gaggioli threw the race, and “helped” Lance to become a famous athlete—who is now known for doping.
