Lance Armstrong has today been spectacularly stripped of any Premier League titles he may have won whilst doping.
In a highly controversial move, the Premier League admitted they 'couldn't be 100% sure' if Armstrong had even won the Premiership title in his career, but added that they 'were not willing to take that risk.'
It comes after an already damaging week for Armstrong. After being stripped of his Tour de France wins, he has since gone on to lose the 2004 Wimbledon title, Q Magazine's 'Best Live Act' of 2000 and his dramatic 2007 Strictly Come Dancing victory.
YOU'RE NOT DANCING ANYMORE: Well Lance won't be, anyway
Former Premiership title-winner Paul Merson fully supported the decision. “To be honest Jeff I've got no idea how or when Armstrong won the championship, but if he did then you've got to say it's the right decision by the Premier League.
“After seeing him tarnish the good names of Cycling, Tennis and Televised Ballroom Dancing, we just couldn't let the man ruin the excellent reputation that professional footballers currently have.”
