AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- 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.

So now in America a person is guilty unless he can prove his innocence? What objective body of evidence do they have? How about his several hundred blood samples, each of which has never shown as positive.
As I said in the other thread, from what I've heard in Austin, the USADA had made it clear that they were going to continue hounding Armstrong for years, even decades to come, if necessary.
It sounded like they were angry they could never get the definitive proof and tests they wanted, but they had decided he was guilty and were going to make life miserable for him.

Elvis Presley wasn’t a drug addict either, according to his fans. And Fabian is the greatest rock singer ever. Just ask his fans.

Team mates or wanna be’s?
Jealously is an ugly animal.
How many of those are just pissed at the world that they did not do as well?
How does any test change the fact his hearl is LITERALLY 30% larger than average?
The USADA just stinks in this mess. So ANYBODY who has an axe to grind can “get revenge” as long as they wait long enough.
BTW tea is a “masking agent”. Water is a making agent.
I also find it telling that they USADA did not want an actual trial but a rigged binding arbitration.
