GAME OVER: Armstrong Stripped Of Tour De France Titles – All Records Wiped From UCI Books

And just like that, fourteen years of Lance Armstrong’s career have been wiped from the record books. In addition to losing his titles, the International Cycling Union has banned Armstrong from the sport for life, citing “insurmountable evidence” that Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs over the course of his career, and in every one of his victorious Tours.

Tour organisers, ASO, say that Armstrong is obliged to pay back every penny of his prize money. Eina.

Armstrong is yet to make a confession, but barring a sociopathic exhibition of stubbornness, one is expected in the coming hours, or days.
