Agency To Issue Armstrong Decision

This July 5, 2004, file photo shows U.S. Postal Service team leader and five-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, third from right, framed by his teammates as the pack rides during the second stage of the 91st Tour de France cycling race between Charleroi and Namur, Belgium. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says 11 of Lance Armstrong's former teammates testified against him in its investigation of the cyclist, revealing "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen." USADA will deliver its reasoned decision against Armstrong later today, a summary of the facts it used to hand him a lifetime suspension and erase his seven Tour de France titles.

Question: In the end, were all the titles and fame worth it?
