Lance Armstrong: Disgraced Cyclist Tweets He Returned His 2000 Bronze Medal Back to International Olympic Committee (Video)

By

"The 2000 Bronze is back in possession of usolympics and will be in Switzerland asap to Olympics," disgraced 7-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong wrote on Twitter, as reported by AFP. In early 2013, the committee stripped Armstrong of the medal he won in Sydney and asked him to return it.

Armstrong admitted in January to doping throughout his career, which included seven Tour de France wins. Prior to then, he denied that ever took performance enhancement drugs.

After getting treatment for cancer, Armstrong won 7 consecutive Tour de France wins between 1999 and 2005. Armstrong left the sport after his last win, only to come back four years later and place third in cycling's most prestigious race.

Armstrong remained defiant about ever using PEDs before confessing to Oprah Winfrey in January. Calling himself "deeply flawed," Armstrong admitted that he'd used an array of performance enhancing drugs and took blood transfusions to excel in the highly competitive, scandal-ridden world of professional cycling, news reports said.

"This is too late, it's too late for probably most people. And that's my fault," Armstrong told Winfrey. "(This was) one big lie, that I repeated a lot of times."
