Christian Prudhomme has announced the official position of the Tour de France for the years that Lance Armstrong won the race. They will list the years that he won as without a winner. Lance will have to return the $3 million prize money that he won.
His statement included the following: “We hope that there is no winner in these editions. The formal decision is to be taken by the UCI but for us, very clearly, the record must be blank. In the report the Usada accuses a system and an era. This era must be remembered as an era without winners. We are in the mafia system beyond doping and the world of sport, in a way. “
Prudhomme also said the Tour de France will recover from this. The 2013 route will be announced on Wednesday.
