Lance Armstrong Doping Case
Since October 22, 2012 Lance Armstrong has been officially stripped of all of his Tour de France titles since 1998. According to the Washington Post, the president of the UCI, Pat McQuaid, said “Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling, and he deserves to be forgotten.” In addition to losing his titles, he is also no longer eligible to participate in any sport that uses the World Anti-Doping Code. As a response to the decisions of the USADA and UCI, Armstrong resigned from the Lance Armstrong Foundation and companies that sponsored him have revoked such contracts including his largest contributor, Nike. However, JQ remains as his close personal friend.

“There is not a more disgusting spectacle under the sun than our subserviency to British criticism. It is disgusting, first, because it is truckling, servile, pusillanimoussecondly, because of its gross irrationality. We know the British to bear us little but ill willwe know that, in no case do they utter unbiased opinions of American books ... we know all this, and yet, day after day, submit our necks to the degrading yoke of the crudest opinion that emanates from the fatherland.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091845)
