Lance Armstrong stripped of Tour de France titles

Posted: Updated:

(CNN) - Lance Armstrong is losing the seven cycling titles that made him a legend.

The International Cycling Union announced today that Armstrong is being stripped of his Tour de France titles. The decision follows a finding this month by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The agency said there's "overwhelming" evidence Armstrong was involved as a professional cyclist in a doping program.


Armstrong has steadfastly maintained his innocence.  Also as a result of the agency finding, Armstrong is losing sponsorships by Nike, Anheuser-Busch and now Oakley.
