Doping

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has joined a lawsuit against disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong that alleges the former, seven-time Tour de France champion concealed his use of performance-enhancing drugs and defrauded his long-time sponsor, the U.S. Postal Service, Armstrong's lawyers said Friday.

Now that Lance Armstrong has admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he's a doper, a liar and a bully, many of those who saw their lives changed, some ruined, are going through a gamut of emotions.

He did it. He finally admitted it. Lance Armstrong doped. Right from the start and more than two dozen times during the first of a two-part interview Thursday night with Oprah Winfrey, the disgraced former cycling champion acknowledged what he had lied about repeatedly for years.

Lance Armstrong announced Monday that on Thursday he will confess in an interview with Oprah that he took performance-enhancing drugs. So, what does this mean for Armstrong's legacy?

After a decade of denial, Lance Armstrong has finally come clean: He used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France.

The International Tennis Federation might copy blood-testing measures used by cycling to weed out drug cheats.

Lance Armstrong has cut formal ties with his cancer-fighting charity to avoid further damage brought by doping charges and being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.

The International Cycling Union says the seven Tour de France titles stripped from Lance Armstrong for doping will not be awarded to any riders.

Rogge says "it would be unfair to penalize the huge majority of clean athletes by banning UCI from the Olympic Games."

Another former teammate of Lance Armstrong has admitted using banned performance-enhancing substances.
