Lance Armstrong Laughing as Multiple Old Nemeses Banned from Tour De France
Topic: Sports

After crushing the competition at the Tour de France and setting multiple records including longest winning streak, Lance Armstrong can now get away from allegations that he was doping, even though no proof was ever offered to support this. But what of the future performers such as Ivan Basso and Jan Ulrich, who were always one short step behind Armstrong?

Yeah, their banned now for doping.

Both have been barred from participating in this year's event for being caught blood doping by French officials, which comes as a sweet irony for American Armstrong, who has been fighting this since returning from debilitating cancer and winning seven times in a row. Seven other riders have also been implicated in what is called "team doping." There hasn't been any word on further ramifications, but you can be sure that we'll keep you updated, because this is just sweet, sweet justice.
