USADA strips Lance Armstrong of his TDF wins and all else.

This country more and more tries to suck the life out of good people and repay sharks with praise. They are just angry no one can beat him so they resort to slander. No evidence and still they want to ban him and strip him for what? No proof, no solid reason, just a simple I hate you so now you will suffer attitude. Beat the good guy down and give the evil men more power to tell us what to do, it's the American way now.

I have learnt that no one likes a winner. Every sport I have ever competed in and won there is always some as on the side running his jaw and complaining about what I did and how somehow I must have cheated to win. No one every thinks about all of the hard work people (WINNERS) put in to be as good as they are. I use to put hrs upon hrs of practice in to become a good pool player and every time I would win a match it was always how lucky I got and all of the bad rolls they got. If you beat me I shake your hand with a smile and say good game and wait for my next match. I would say the people doing all the taking here have never competed in any kind of sport and have never had the joy of being number one at anything. Lance worked hard for what he got and although they may strip him of everything they will never take his name and the true heart of the champion that he is and always will be. JMO

I really enjoyed reading all of your opinions. Being a person that rides 150 miles a week and watches every minute of every bike race on TV, I'm really into this subject! Even if he did dope, the training and life's commitment required to even be an amateur cycler is difficult to describe. I am really powerful for an old guy, can do 306 watts for 46 minutes. The strongest guy at our shop is superhuman and can do 329 watts for 46 minutes(leaving me for dead in the mountains). Jens Voight, 3 days ago did 380 watts for 46 minutes. If you know wattage, that's like a 250 Ninja drag racing a Busa. Lance, in his prime, was, probably another level above Jens, for years. To take away SEVEN Tour victories with NO positive test results is criminal in itself.

People,all over the world, who follow this sport will NOT let ANY "governing body" take away Lance's accomplishments in their hearts.

Exactly, doping doesn't make an athlete. in a time of financial crisis we have another gov entity burning money on witch hunts, going after performance drugs that became illegal because people dont understand them.

Nothing will ever change for the better in this unless we stop and take a look at stuff like this and question why the hell my tax money is funding an anti doping agency

What's amazing is that his foundation, LiveStrong, saw a huge surge in donations beginning yesterday. I'm on my way to the site now to make a donation. Here's the story in USA Today: http://usat.ly/OBZ5Q9
