Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life by cycling’s governing body Monday following a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that accused him of leading a massive doping program on his teams. International Cycling Union President Pat McQuaid announced that the federation accepted USADA’s report on Armstrong and would not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
“Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling and he deserves to be forgotten in cycling,” McQuaid said at a news conference.
McQuaid says Armstrong does not belong in cycling, yet can not award any of the 7 previous titles because 20 of the 21 top three finishers have been linked to doping as well. More bad news for the postal service while the ICU looks like a bunch of dopes.
