In reply to the discussion: Doping agency claims 'overwhelming' proof of cheating by cyclist Armstrong [View all]groundloop
(11,514 posts)10. Once Armstrong agreed to accept all sanctions I figured something like this would come out.
I'm guessing that once he was presented with the evidence that USADA had he realized that any further legal battles would be a waste of time.
Oh, and I believe NBC News made an error. Armstrong is no longer "the seven-time Tour de France champion", he's already been stripped of those victories hasn't he? In any case it's damned sad that myself and my kids cheered for a cheater.
