    Default Lance Armstrong stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles

    US Anti-Doping Agency to ban Lance Armstrong for life, strip Tour de France titles - News | FOX Sports on MSN



    I don't like cheaters in sports. I can't stand Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa (baseball)... and of course there's the cheaters in boxing, such as Margacheato, and the fighters that have been caught using PED's.

    But I can't help but feeling devastated by these news. Number 1, Armstrong never failed a drug test while he was racing. Number 2, the fact that this guy was even racing after surviving testicular cancer is awesome... and something that has given inspiration to a lot of people. Number 3, many cyclists are on PED's... it's nothing new or unheard of in the sport. The fact that a person can win or even survive such a grueling race is a huge feat in and of itself. And finally... Lance has given so much to so many people. His foundations have helped countless people. To totally ignore all of that and just up and strip him of all his titles, is a humongous slap in the face. Besides, the biggest factor of them all is that he never actually failed a drug test. How do you justify such a huge punishment based on that??

    Sometimes we let the real scum bags off with a slap on the wrist (Margarito, sorry... he should've gotten more than a year).... and give out devastating punishment to those who least deserve it. Even-handed and/or consistent punishments in sports are hard to come by. Maybe it's just a knee-jerk reaction... and maybe I'll feel a little different tomorrow... but I doubt it. So far the overwhelming public reaction has been in support of Lance. Fuck the USADA and all their sanctimonious bullshit.
