The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) today revealed its decision over the seven-time Tour De France winner, Lance Armstrong; he will be stripped of his seven titles which he acquired since 1999 to 2005 after having been found guilty of doping.

UCI President Pat McQuaid refused to resign amidst the controversy. Instead, he announced that his committee will accept the report of USADA and would not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport saying Armstrong has lost his place in cycling.

Armstrong should be banned and stripped of his titles for "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen" within his U.S. Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams.
