Lance Armstrong stripped of Tour de France titles and banned.

[Tiberius]

So why the hell doesn't he fight it then Tibs?

Him saying he's 'tired of it' is pretty fucking lame let's be honest. I'd fight in every court in the land to prove my innocence if my whole career, character and reputation were on the line. Hell this will ruin his reputation for all of time, I wouldn't stop fighting, just because it's getting tiresome.

Smacks of him being guilty in all fairness.

The reasons for not fighting it are in his statement. Bear in mind that this is just the USADA that has stripped him of his titles. The other official organisations (such as those that organise the Tour de France) have not done so yet, and they have sided with Armstrong in the past.

Not contesting charges does not make one guilty, and if one is not yet found guilty, they should be presumed innocent under the law. Whether Armstrong wants to contest the charges or not is irrelevant; a court proceeding can go ahead regardless.
