They'd never leave the locker room.

Absolute BS, Lance is ok in my book. Who gives a flying fukushima if he was doping, dudes a winner. Hire him for GM!

Glad it went down like this.
Just another fraud doper.
Now comes the lawsuits, and soon the tearful admision that Lance was doped to the gills.
I am pleased they left those years as "No winner". The whole era was doping filled.

Every era. If you want to win at professional cycling, you pretty much have to do with Lance did.

Cycling in general is filled with doping.

If you win, you were probably cheating. You may have just been doing a better job of not getting caught.

Look at these huge cycling teams and the amount of money going into them. And anytime one of them gets raided, there's some super-chemist with his name on a balance sheet somewhere.

I say cycling should just give up and let them inject themselves with whatever horse testosterone trips their trigger. A clean rider has absolutely not chance against these guys and if they get stripped 5 years later they don't really give a !@#$ (money's been made).

The only reason I care is that a really legendary story has gone by the wayside - what if he was clean. Alas, we probably should've known it was too good to be true.

If everyone is cheating is it still cheating?

This. It's just like baseball - who cares?

Although I think Lance is an uber douche so I just like seeing him get in trouble...

Snippet:

Tour de France organisers want Armstrong to repay $3 million prize money

Christian Prudhomme, the director of the Tour de France, has confirmed that he does not want Lance Armstrong’s seven Tour de France victories reassigned after the UCI ratified the USADA verdict to ban the Texan and disqualify him from results going back to August 1998.

Prudhomme also said that he expects Armstrong to pay back his estimated three million dollars he won in the race.

“There won’t be a winner. The formal decision will be taken by the UCI on Friday but for us, it’s very clear; we want to leave the palmares blank,” Prudhomme told the Reuters news agency after hearing Pat McQuaid speaking during his Geneva press conference.

“The USADA report accuses a system and an era. This era must be remembered as an era without winners.”

According to l’Equipe, Armstrong won approximately 2.95 million Euro via his seven Tour de France victories and six stage victories. Prudhomme insisted that this money will have be paid back, even if it has been shared amongst teammates.
