The USADA is a non- governmental Anti-Doping Agency that has stripped Lace Armstrong of his Tour de France medals.After 17 years of continuous tests, investigations and hearings, Armstrong declines to participate in more of them.

The Agency says that 1] for several years Armstrong had blood and urine results that were elevated for his norms [not for the norms of other athletes] which “could be” consistent with drug use and 2] that they have lots of witnesses who will testify against him.

Armstrong states that 1] He never used performance enhancing drugs, pre or post cancer. 2] He has never had a positive medical finding that he used performance enhancing drugs and that 2] Many Agency witnesses “cut deals” with the USDA to protect their own sports’ records and that others were disgruntled competitors.He says “the Salem Witch Trials have to end.” He also questions the expertise and fairness of the agency personnel.

You’re the Judge. Should he be stripped of his metals?
