UCI Removes Armstrong's Wins

Lance Armstrong was officially stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, on Monday.

He was also banned, for life, from cycling by the International Cycling Union, who recognized
United States Anti Doping Agency's charges against him.

The UCI had avoided doing so for a time, but with mounting evidence against Armstrong they felt they had no choice left anymore.

Over the last week Armstrong has been dropped by several sponsors, and removed himself from being the head of his cancer fighting organization, Livestrong.
