Olympic Committee Asks Armstrong To Return His 2000 Bronze Medal
January 17, 2013 – The International Olympics Committee has asked Lance Armstrong to return the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Olympics Games, IOC communcations director Mark Adams said Thursday.
That news came on the day when the first part of Armstrong’s 2 1/2-hour interview airs on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN cable network and the Internet Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.
While Winfrey has not released details of exactly what Armstrong said in the recorded interview, she appeared to confirm media reports Tuesday that the former seven-time Tour de France champion admits doping and lying about it. CNN
