While I don't have much sympathy for Lance Armstrong, the Tour needs to look back at stripping all the dopers for previous titles won. An example is Alberto Cantador who I think won 2 titles before being stripped of his 2010 title for doping.
Another example is Jan Ulrich who won a title and was later banned for doping.
If they are going to go thru so much trouble to go after Armstrong, they need to do just as extensive investigations of all winners, which in my opinion would result in most if not all of the winners of the last several decades being stripped of their titles, if not longer. Blood doping has been around for long time.
With that said, even with all of the doping, I can't help but say I'm always entertained by the tour and the amazing feat of the cyclists just to finish.
