In this July 24, 2005 file photo, Lance Armstrong, of Austin, Texas, center, waves from the podium as his son Luke, rear right of Armstrong, his twin daughters Grace, center right, and Isabelle, center left, look on, after winning his seventh straight Tour de France cycling race, during ceremonies on the Champs-Elysees avenue in Paris, after the 21st and final stage of the race between Corbeil-Essonnes, south of Paris, and the French capital. For Armstrong, who famously insisted he was the world's most-tested athlete during his glory years but who has never tested positive for cheating, the welcome back to a still largely-suspicous France may not be warm. The Arc de Triomphe monument is seen behind. (AP Photo/Bernard Papon/Pool, file)

US cyclist Levi Leipheimer jokes prior to the start of the Tour de France cycling race in France, July 15, 2004. Eleven teammates of Lance Armstrong on the U.S. Postal Service Cycling Team including Leipheimer have turned on him offering evidence and testimony to back up allegations that Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs in competition, the USADA said. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a damning report last week containing testimony from former teammates and other witnesses against Armstrong, and has ordered that he be stripped of his seven Tour de France titles. The international cycling federation is yet to indicate its next move. (AP Photo/Peter Dejong)
