LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The IOC is proceeding with an investigation that could result in Lance Armstrong losing his Olympic bronze medal for doping.
The IOC says it will “immediately” look into the Olympic involvement of Armstrong, other riders and officials implicated in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report describing systematic doping in cycling.
Cycling’s governing body last week formally stripped Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles.
The IOC says it “will now immediately start the process concerning the involvement of Lance Armstrong, other riders and particularly their entourages with respect to the Olympic Games and their future involvement with the games.”
