All tag results for 'banned'

When is the doping madness going to stop???

It's been enough that we've had to deal with Lance Armstrong's doping scandal, but now Olympic discus silver medalist, Darya Pishchalnikova has been banned from the Olympics for 10 years, and is also set to get her medal taken away.

Last year, Pishchalnikova received a silver medal at the London Olympics, but after she tested positive for the illegal drug Oxandrilone, she won't be able to compete for a whole decade.

Federation president, Valentin Balakhnichev said:

Hey Lance Armstrong!

We're sorry to hear that you're unable to take part in a swimming competition in Texas, but maybe you shouldn't have cheated in sports for all those years and then followed it all up with lies. You'd probably be able to compete in anything you wanted had you not done that! Just sayin'!

LOLz!

Armstrong wanted to compete at the Masters South Central Zone Swimming Championships in his home town of Austin this weekend. It has nothing to do with cycling, it isn't subjected to USA or World Anti-Doping Agency codes. No prob, right?

Wrong!

They may be able to take away his sponsorships and strip him of all his Tour de France wins, but there's one thing they can't take from Lance Armstrong…

His bike!

No matter what is going on in Lance's life, regardless of any mistakes he may have made, he can always hop on his bike and escape his troubles.
