"BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong eventually confessed to his long time use of banned drugs while more high-profile doping scandals hit the headlines from time to time. Armstrong, stripped of seven Tour de France titles and banned for life last year, had denied any wrong-doping until January this year when he confessed to use of EPO, human growth hormone and steroids in the Oprah talk show."

"Lance Armstrong's trophy case is a little emptier today. The disgraced cyclist, who admitted earlier this year to doping throughout his career, tweeted this week that he had given back the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia."

"When Lance Armstrong chose Oprah Winfrey to hear his confession in January, he - and we - knew what to expect: a hug not the scalpel; understanding not evisceration; a bleeding heart not a bloody dissection"
