Lance Armstrong Quietly Removes Tour De France Victories From Twitter Bio

It’s official. Lance Armstrong cheated. How did we not know? *

The UCI, cycling’s governing body, has stripped Armstrong of his seven Tour De France victories, and will meet Friday to discuss the “exact sporting consequences” of the decision. In their summary the UCI concluded that Armstrong and his team ran “the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen”, and the disgraced athlete will now likely have to pay back his prize money from the tour victories, and could be faced with a number of civil suits from former sponsors and disgruntled associates.
