John Oakley returns August 27th. In the meantime...
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said it will strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles after Armstrong declared that he would no longer fight the druger charges against him. The USADA's chief executive, Travis Tygart, said Armstrong would be hit with a lifetime ban from the sport.
In 2011, Armstrong walked away from the sport without being charged following a two-year federal criminal investigation with many of the accusations he faces from USADA.
The legendary cyclist could have pressed his innocence in USADA's arbitration process, but Armstrong said he believes most people have already made up their minds about whether he's a fraud or a victimized hero.
Is Armstrong waving the white flag because he's guilty? Or is it just because he's tired of fighting the charges?
