Lance Armstrong Gets Stripped of Titles 

Lance Armstrong has decided to give up fighting the doping charges! Although he is not admitting guilt.  He's just saying the odds are so against him that he'll never have a fair shot at clearing his name.  He will be stripped of the seven straight Tour de France titles he won from 1999 to 2005, a bronze medal from the 2000 Summer Olympics, and he'll be banned from competitive cycling for life.  Armstrong posted a long, angry letter on his website saying that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's investigation of him is, quote, "an unconstitutional witch hunt."  He added, "The toll this has taken on my family and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today . . . finished with this nonsense."  He also mentioned the fact that he's passed HUNDREDS of tests over the years, and that's STILL not good enough for them.  He said, "Whatever they asked for I provided.  What is the point of all this testing if, in the end, USADA will not stand by it?"  You can read the entire statement at LanceArmstrong.com.
