Your Say: Fans on Lance Armstrong's fall

Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France titles were stripped Monday. Comments from Facebook:

Easy to recognize a politically motivated hatchet job. I don't care what circumstantial evidence is mounted against Lance Armstrong. I will always remember him for winning the Tour de France seven times. He has been singled out by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

William Cassada

What is the political motivation here? This is a big stain on U.S. sports. If the agency didn't come down on him, U.S. athletes would never be seen the same again in Olympic competition. As Americans, we need to be the standard-bearers of fair competition.

John Tortorici

This is a good teaching moment for our young people. If you cheat, it will eventually catch up to you and stain you for life. Armstrong is a perfect example of exactly that!

Fred Lander

Can we finally move on now in this and all sports? The past is just that. Doping happened, and rules were not enforced.

Time to move on.

Letter to the editor:

Lance Armstrong is no longer a Tour de France winner — at all. This is a precedent-setting decision, one that prompts the question: Should the same now be done for all those professional athletes who have set records while being doped up?

Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Roger Clemens come immediately to mind as athletes whose records ought to be stricken from the record books, don't you think?
