Problem Statement

Let II and IAI_A denote the incentre and excentre opposite to AA of scalene ABC\triangle ABC respectively. Let AA' be the antipode of AA in (ABC)\odot (ABC) and LL be the midpoint of arc (BAC)(BAC). Let LBLB and LCLC intersect AIAI at points YY and ZZ respectively. Prove that (LYZ)\odot (LYZ) is tangent to (AIIA)\odot (A'II_A).
