    Angry Armstrong gives up fight. Will probably be stripped of Tour de France wins.

    Lance Armstrong says he will no longer fight the USADA in their investigation into and accusations that Lance was doping during his cycling career. A federal judge dismissed Lance's suit against the USADA clearing the way for him to possibly be stripped of his wins.

    I just read this. Very sad that this agency has been allowed to do everything possible to destroy an American icon and make his life a living hell. Disgusting. Give it up USADA. Put your time into something worthwhile. Shameful.

    Agreed. If he was doping all that time, how was it never caught?

    I don't think the USADA has the power to strip him of the Tour de France titles. How exactly would they have that authority?

    they will make their reccomendation to the TDF, they have the option to accept it, if they wish! they have the depositions fo 2 KNOWN cheaters, who were granted complete immunity solely on the promise that they would say that LA also cheated.
    They have ZERO evidence, only the purchased testimony of known liars and cheaters, 2 of them.
    whats next, traffic vilations for ghandi?

    Default Lance Armstrong won't fight charges

    AUSTIN, Texas -- The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said Thursday night it will strip Lance Armstrong of his unprecedented seven Tour de France titles after he declared he was finished fighting the drug charges that threaten his legacy as one of the greatest cyclists of all time.

    Travis Tygart, USADA's chief executive, said Armstrong would also be hit with a lifetime ban on Friday.

    Still to be heard from was the sport's governing body, the International Cycling Union, which had backed Armstrong's legal challenge to USADA's authority.

    The USADA is saying they are going to strip him of all Tour de France victories. I dont know how the hell they have the authority, but if they do, than that sucks. Does this mean he can never enter a bike race, can he do any more triathlons? Sad. The guy has been inspiring at the age of 40 still competing.

    Even if he did use PEDs, can you really consider it cheating since pretty much the whole sport does it? Probably just kept him on par with the field instead of giving him any advantage. And this, of course, is only IF he did it.
