First Tour de France, Armstrong now stripped of Olympics medal

Posted: Updated:

The International Olympic Committee has stripped Lance Armstrong of the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Olympic Games because of doping.

An IOC spokesman says the committee told Armstrong last night to return the medal he received at the games in Sydney, Australia in 2000. 

The International Cycling Union last October stripped Armstrong of his Tour de France titles.

Tonight Oprah Winfrey will air the first of a two-part interview with Armstrong, who reportedly acknowledges that he used performance-enhancing drugs in his career.
