LANCE'S FULL STATEMENT HERE
In an act of absolute bullshit Lance Armstrong has been STRIPPED of all of his seven Tour de France titles and his OLYMPIC BRONZE because he says he is tired of fighting the dope charges.
In an act of absolute bullshit Lance Armstrong has been STRIPPED of all of his seven Tour de France titles and his OLYMPIC BRONZE because he says he is tired of fighting the dope charges.
Armstrong has conceded, saying, "I know who won those seven Tours, my teammates
know who won those seven Tours, and everyone I competed against knows who won
those seven Tours. The toughest event in the world where the strongest man
wins. Nobody can ever change that.”
So
because jealous, power hungry people continued to press heresay charges, the
man has lost everything. We know who he is world, and let it be known. Call to
action, write who you can, and don't let it be true.
Armstrong
says the charges have taken too heavy a toll on his family and his cancer
foundation, and he is done with the "one-sided.... unconstitutional witch hunt."
“It’s a sad day for all of us who love sport and
our athletic heroes,” Travis Tygart, chief executive of the United States
Anti-Doping Agency, said. “It’s yet another heartbreaking example of how the
win-at-all-costs culture, if left unchecked, will overtake fair, safe and
honest competition.”
It is possible the International Cyclying Union will appeal his suspension from the group, but thus far, nothing can be done about the loss of titles.
....A sad day when right loses, people, a sad day....
