We'll miss sunshine is no longer -- -- affronts champion cycling governing body today stripping him the titles that really made him.

A household name Julie Banderas is here live -- the latest is really about that is yellow T shirts and everyone remembers -- yeah.

-- is send apparently Lance Armstrong was not only the leader of the cycling pack -- he let a massive doping program.

On his teens according to the US Anti Doping Agency that disturbing finding is actually what led to the cycling governing body's decision.

To strip him of his seven tour de -- titles banning him from professional cycling.

For life UCI's president said at a news conference and I'm quoting Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling.

And he deserves to be forgotten in cycling this is a landmark day for cycling.

He also added that he was sickened by what he read in that USA DA report singling out the testimony of David as a -- ski.

Saying this and I quote the story he told of how he was coerced.

And to some extent forced into doping is just mind boggling and quote.

USA DA report says Armstrong and his teens used steroids.

The blood booster EPO and blood transfusions the board included statements from eleven former teammates who testified against Armstrong.

Armstrong all the while though -- is he ever -- saying that he passed hundreds of drug tests during his career.

But he chose not to fight the USA DA in one of the -- arbitration hearings arguing that the process was just biased against him the decision by the way also clears the way for toward -- front organizers to officially remove Armstrong's name from the record books.

Erasing his consecutive victories from 1999.

To 2005.

China and and you wonder who's been champion -- -- everybody was -- can you imagine whoever came in second place all of those years some really deserve that title well we'll see if anybody with drug free again according to that one report though and Lance Armstrong points that he passed hundreds of drug tests and yes that's true and Julie thank you sure.
