The New York Times, Juliet Macur, 10/22/12
The International Cycling Union announced on Monday that it will not appeal the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s ruling to bar Lance Armstrong for life from Olympic sports for doping and for playing an instrumental role in the team-wide doping on his Tour de France-winning cycling squads.
That decision to waive the right to take Armstrong’s case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the highest court in sports, formally strips Armstrong of the Tour titles he won from 1999-2005. The Amaury Sport Organization, the company that organizes the Tour de France, will erase Armstrong’s name from its record books.

I wonder who is doing all
I wonder who is doing all these people who win at what they do better than others. These are the only ones I see that are accused of this dopping thing, then they take all their titles away. Are they paying people to say these things about these people? I think this should be looked into as there are some who have lost titles that maybe should not have.
Very strange that only one accused are people with titles!
Screw them
Lance did it - in the dirt, the rain, the pain, the long road.
They are beauracrats in board rooms. They couldn't ride a bike around the block.
Screw the International Cycling Union!
Go Lance! Why? 'Cause he actually got out there and did the thing.
So tired of the crap....
Blessings to all...
