The US-Anti Doping Agency has stripped Lance of 7 Tour de France titles for using Performance_enhancing_drugs. He certainly popularized the sport here in the US and his foundation for cancer which brought in millions of dollars.
 
This has been on-going since 1998 and he's retired now? They certainly did take their time in doing this.....

I sure don't know his history well but I sure understood him giving up
dealing with their BS.

I'm under the assumption that he never tested positive on any of the
drug tests and if that is correct then they have sure made it that he
was guilty until proven innocent and he simply tired of trying to prove it.

I think it sucks. The guy earned those winnings and I like what he said...
"everybody he raced with knows who won too." or something to the same.

Armstrong has said in court documents that he has never had "a single positive test" in the 500 to 600 drug tests he's taken in his more than two decades in cycling.

"The only physical evidence here is the hundreds of controls I have passed with flying colors. I made myself available around the clock and around the world. In competition. Out of competition. Blood. Urine. Whatever they asked for I provided. What is the point of all this testing if, in the end, USADA will not stand by it?"

The case was dropped due to statute of limitations, but he came out of retirement for one last race and that's when they nailed him.

Yeah, they've had a hard-on to get him for years.  All they have is hear-say, not a single positive test and Lance's lawyers have already put forward a libel suit against the organization.

Remember that, in America, people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty and, so far, there is no proof (just talk).

Nobody cares what  U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is saying, they are losing authority already anyway.
