Lance Armstrong stripped of titles and medals?

Regardless if you watch/care about pro cycling, you have to admit that if this goes through its a huge hit for the USA and potentially for CA awareness. Although there have been questions raised about where exactly all the money from the LIVESTRONG foundation goes. see Outside magazines' article on LIVRSTRONG

 

I cant say i'm surprised... its not like everyone knew it. But he was cheating in a sport where everyone cheats at that level.

don't care even if he was. Guy never failed a drug test and even if he did, every good cyclist at that time was on EPO/dopping

Still a hero in my book. It's a complete witchhunt. They will keep on digging until they find something or until he give up and that's the case.

It just seems every year, new claims are coming out against him.

 

bingo. This all originally started because the french were pissed because an American beat them on their own ground/game year after year after year and went along with the anti-american sentiment found in Europe. Then the american drug watch dogs realized it would help there career to hang armstrong so they can say look at what we did. The amount of money that has been spent over this is absurd. You don't see the same of attention when European cyclist are caught or under suspicion.

I guess the French didn't like the "Tour de Lance" shirts.

He never failed a blood test, not a single one. The French are just sore losers. Just you watch. They'll strip him of his titles and hand them to a french rider.

 

You do realize that the USADA taking this action is a board funded by US congress, is a US agency, and is run by a guy from Florida, right? The UCI has nothing to do with this.

The USADA is basing all there indictment on pure interviews and no scientific test results is complete bullshit.

 

The department of Justice couldn't win, so the guy involved from the USADA couldnt take losing in real court...
