Armstrong Tested Positive for Steroids Four Times in 1999 Tour

Lance Armstrong tested positive for steroids four times during his first Tour de France win, although he wasn’t suspended because the levels were consistent with his alibi of using a cream to treat saddle sores, cycling’s governing body said.

The banned cyclist, who in a January interview admitted using performance-enhancing drugs, has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and a 2000 Summer Olympics bronze medal.
