Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

The sport needs closure on the wild west years of the 1990s and 2000s and no-one, not least the most successful cyclist of that era, should be immune from prosecution should the evidence surface.

That he was part of a management conspiracy to set up, run and disguise a systematic, team wide doping programme makes it even more important that these charges are raised.

I agree but my hesitancy is where does it end? If you strip Lancey boy of his titles what about Ullrich's, or Pantani's, or Riis'? When Tom Simpson keeled over on the Mount Ventoux his belly was full of amphetamine, do you strip him of his World Championship? Jacques Anquetil was vociferous in his defence of drugs. Aren't there massive doubts over Indurain also?

As Hippy points out, if you strip Lance's titles away from him, who gets them?

I think the most important thing is that it doesn't happen again
