It’s been reported that Armstrong back in the Tour de France record books.
Italian website Tuttobiciweb has noticed that Lance Armstrong’s name is back in the list of Tour de France winner published by ASO in the 2015 route information given out after the presentation in Paris.
Armstrong’s name had been cancelled from the record books and he was banned for life after the USADA doping investigation. Now his name is crossed out in the seven edition of the Tour de France he won between 1999-2005, with an asterisk leading to an explanation.
Unfortunately WADA and USADA haven’t gotten the news. Despite special permission requested by Hincapie’s group to be able to include Lance in a group ride this weekend, the Hincapie fondo, that he’s sponsoring, WADA and USADA are now refusing to allow Lance to participate in this non-competitive benefit ride.
As usual, all the opposing camps are in their sparring zones. There’s been some debate as to why the event even requested USA Cycling sanctioning when they could have gone to the League of American Bicyclists.
One comment told Lance he’s not allowed to pedal anything ever, even a pedal boat.
