Lance Armstrong has severed ties with his cancer-fighting charity, Livestrong, in the aftermath of his doping scandal.
STORY: Tour De Gone! Lance Armstrong Stripped Of 7 Tour De France Titles
Last month, Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after doping charges found that he cheated while winning the world championships.
As reported by Associated Press:
Armstrong resigned from the board of directors for Livestrong on Nov. 4. He had previously resigned as chairman from the charity he founded Oct. 17 but had kept a seat on the board.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency ordered Armstrong banned from the sport for life and stripped of his titles. The International Cycling Union, which had originally supported Armstrong’s fight, later agreed to wipe out Armstrong’s record seven victories.
Livestrong spokeswoman Katherine McLane said Monday that Armstrong “remains the inspiration” and is still its largest donor with nearly $7 million over the years.
Armstrong’s world is crashing before our eyes. Unfortunately, the former legend’s is credibility is shot and his legacy tarnished.
