Did you miss the fact he passed ALL his drug tests?
Track athlete Marion Jones "passed" all her drug tests while competing too. Turns out she admitted doing steriods the whole time she was the darling of the track world and winning all those medals at the Olympics. He's just as guilty.
As did Florence Griffith Joyner and Carl Lewis and neither of them had to give up their medals.
Yeah, this sounds like spite more than anything.
I have no doubt he probably did do something shady - if not steroids, then blood doping (transfusions) - but to go after him well after the 8 year time limit expired seems pretty vindictive to me. You didn't see anyone go after Carl Lewis after he admitted he used 'roids - because it was outside of the 8 year time limit.
Methinks Armstrong probably told this guy off or something and it's become personal.

Maybe angry "littleman syndrome".

Since this story is about Armstrong, wouldn't a pic of his remaining testicle looking like this 
be more appropriate?

This is a witch hunt. Since you can't prove he was doping then you say that he masked the doping.
So once accused he's guilty regardless of the dearth of evidence?
You'd have made a fine chekist.

Dearth of evidence? Spend two minutes on Google and you can find reams of evidence. I don't think anyone really cares enough one way or the other to categorize this as a witch hunt, but I'd bet everything I own that Armstrong is guilty of doping, whether that can be proven in court or not. OJ Simpson is not guilty of murder, btw.

Guilty until proven innocent, huh.
I guess I really DID sell crack to disabled babies then.

Nolo contendre - same result as a guilty plea. Ask Spiro Agnew.

Who cares if he's been banned? He's retired.
We all know Armstrong won those races, and passed all his drug tests.
I wouldn't consider him disgraced at all. The only thing disgraced is the process and the USADA.

Totally agree.

Not at all. The guilt was proven long ago. This is old news.

His problem... let him figure it out.

Biggest cheater of all-time finally brought down. I read this story this morning before I left for work and man....did it put me in a good mood. I could see winning one Tour, maybe two. But seven? His teammates that did (and did not) admit to doping acknowledged that he had been injected with advanced drugs that couldn't be readily detected at the time.
Justice is served, albeit a little late. He can now join other disgraced cyclists like Contador, Ullrich, Landis, etc. They can have a little drug party.

The headlines are everywhere: "Lance Armstrong Stripped Of Tour De France Titles." Even ESPN led with this on SportsCenter this evening (emphasis ours)...
"The U.S. Anti Doping Agency has banned Lance Armstrong from cycling for life and has stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles for doping."
There is one small problem: it is simply not true (yet). And it may never be true.
This ruling was handed down by the UNITED STATES Anti Doping Agency. And the simple fact is that the races in question took place in France and are under the jurisdiction of Tour de France officials and the International Cycling Union.
The USADA can recommend the titles be stripped. And under typical circumstances, the governing bodies would accept the recommendation. But Lance Armstrong is not a typical circumstance. And in fact, the International Cycling Union has challenged the USADA's authority on this matter, and are likely to ignore the recommendation.
And this is the stance that Armstrong is taking (via ESPN.com). "USADA cannot assert control of a professional international sport and attempt to strip my seven Tour de France titles," said Armstrong.
So while Armstrong is no longer challenging the USADA's charges. It would appear that he is not done challenging their authority over his Tour titles. So until the International Cycling Union and Tour de France officials take away the titles, Armstrong is still a 7-time champion.

I wish it was possible to give a rep point to a whole forum,and not just individually. It would appear as though the vast majority of posters on this forum believe in the rule of law. They believe that a person has to be convicted in a REAL courtroom, not a kankaroo court or a court of public opinion. It is this sense of fairness and impartiality that seperates CKA from 99% of the other forums on line. Job well done members!

Why would this ever be heard in a courtroom? It's not a criminl matter?
