Lance Armstrong is losing the seven cycling titles that made him a legend.
The International Cycling Union announced Monday that Armstrong is being stripped of his Tour De France titles. The decision follows a finding this month by the U.S. anti-doping agency. The agency said there is "overwhelming" evidence that Armstrong was involved as a professional cyclist in a doping program. Armstrong has steadfastly maintained his innocence. As a result of the agency finding, Armstrong is losing sponsorships by Nike, Anheuser-Busch, and now Oakley.
