Taken Out Of Limelight

Once known as the world’s best cyclists, he has been disgraced in the world of cycling and lost an award given to only a few great cyclists.

Lance Armstrong has officially been stripped of the best known award ever given out in France called the Legion of Honor.

This is the highest award that is best-known recognition in France for someone that has achieved success, such as they thought he had.

Armstrong was given the rank of “Chevalier” — or Knight — in the “Legion d’Honneur” in 2005, the last year of his seven consecutive Tour de France victories. He was later stripped of those titles for doping.

lanceA Legion of Honor official, who wasn’t authorized to be quoted by name, said Wednesday she was unable to indicate when the decision was made to remove Armstrong’s award.

She said the organization doesn’t traditionally announce it publicly when honorees lose their decoration.

Armstrong declined comment.

The Legion of Honor was created under Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, and roughly 1 million people have received it over the years. It is France’s highest honour.

Such a loss to someone that had everything he could want in the cycling world.

SAY NO TO DRUGS! This should have been his moto.
