Lance Armstrong was the most sucessful competitive cyclist of all time, winning seven consecutive Tour de France titles from 1999 - 2005.
In 2012 the United States anti-doping agency announced, following investigations that stretched back to his first Tour de France win in 1999, that Armstrong was guilty of using performance enhancing drugs throughout his career. He was stripped of all titles he had previously won and given a lifetime ban from competitive cycling. Watch the video opposite and decide who should be named as winner of those 7 tour de France races. |
