USADA got nothing against Lance, this is the problem. How do you say when someone talk about you? Testimonies? Testimony? They just got that. -
i'd be like ? them awards & medals too tho....he knows who won *shrugs*

Now Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his seven consecutive Tour de France titles, thanks to the persistent doping allegations against him. It's a sad day for the sport, but at least it vindicates all of the clean-riding cyclists who finished behind Armstrong. Right? So here are the runners-up who stand to inherit the yellow jerseys from the disgraced champ:
1999: Alex Zülle (confessed to EPO use)
2000: Jan Ullrich (suspended from 2006 Tour; banned this year and stripped of all results from 2005 on)
2001: Jan Ullrich
2002: Joseba Beloki (kept out of 2006 Tour while under doping investigation, later cleared)
2003: Jan Ullrich
2004: Andreas Klöden (accused of illegal blood transfusion in the 2006 Tour)
2005: Ivan Basso (confessed to attempted doping, suspended) -

I just don't understand how you have the power to take away someone's accomplishments and he's passed every ? drug test you've asked him to take!!! Why cuz a bunch of salty ? mad that he dominated the sport so they wanna throw stones? Thats so stupid....he took over 500 tests and never came up positive....let that man live!!

yeah, it doesn't seem like the usada should be able to over rule an international cycling organization. Or at least they have to show some evidence, hopefully its something stronger than just heresy from former teammates
Tygart said the UCI, the sport's governing body, was "bound to recognize our decision and impose it" as a signer of the World Anti-Doping Code.
"They have no choice but to strip the titles under the code," he said.
On Friday, the International Cycling Union said not so fast. The UCI, which had backed Armstrong's legal challenge to USADA's authority, cited the same World Anti-Doping Code in saying that it wanted the USADA to explain why Armstrong should lose his titles.
The UCI said the code requires this in cases "where no hearing occurs." -
Cycling, the sport of doping phags
-
yeah that was a witch hunt. At least supply ONE failed drug test.
-
they said they have blood tests, that indicate drug use...i guess that weren't part of actual drug testing. i dont know. but i'm sure a lawyer could easily dismiss it
-
that was that 1999 test right, the only one that showed something worth mentioning but it was for a cream he used for saddle sores.
-
i honestly don't know. and the more i start reading about it, the more confusing it gets.
-
Yeah, the only drug test failed was in 1999.
-
Man everyone in that sport is doping. Why even have that race anymore when two weeks later the winner is gonna get stripped of the title.
-
From what I understood from the radio today they said they got blood samples of dude from previous races and now with the improved doping detection tests, he was apparently on something.

They might as well just stop havin' the Tour de France...
-
this ? is so comical..lance basically didn't give the people at usada a cut of that livestrong money..lmao @ 7 tour de france titles vacated because everybody else who finished behind him were caught doping..never failed a test; byt retested old sample and say they found something and who's to say that they didn't taint his samples just so they can get a positive test
-
Rasmussen werent busted for doping either. He's a ? for not posting his whereabouts, but he never got tested positive either. Only reason he got kicked out was because Denis Menchov couldn't bear to see his second in command winning the thing.
-
This is such ? ? …I'm actually mad about this ? . Cause the ? won't go to court to fight some ole trumped up charge 13yrs after the fact you trying to strip him of his titles. WOW
