Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong has publicly aired his dismay at the Union Cycliste Internationale's decision to give Michael Boogerd a two-year ban from cycling for doping infringements, calling it 'pure bullshit'.
Armstrong is banned for life from competing after admitting to doping throughout his career, and was stripped of the 1999-2005 Tour de France titles. He rode against Dutchman Boogerd during that period, notably placing second to him in the 1999 Amstel Gold Race.
