The USADA does not have the authority to strip Lance Armstrong of anything. They can only recommend to the international governing body of cycling (I don't know who that is) strip him of his titles.

They have already said they are going to wait and see what the investigation brings out.

The majority of the "proof" is coming from eye witnesses that swear they have seen Lance use PED in the past. This is from cyclists that have been caught for doing the same thing Lance is accused of. I am under the assumption that these witnesses are getting some type of immunity for their testimony. After all Lance is the White Whale.

After passing over 500 drug tests, it comes down to what a group of proven cheaters say? That doesn't seem right. He is/has been the most drug tested man in all of sports, that's not an exaggeration, that is a fact.

So, I have to ask, is the reverse true? If I, for instance, fail over 500 drug tests can I have 10 people I use to know testify and swear that I didn't do it? If so, can I have 7 Tour de France titles?

Every sport has it's own governing body, cycling is no different. That governing body found him innocent. What/who give the US government the right to go forward with this investigation?

How much of OUR money has been spent on this and others like it? Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Marion Jones? The list goes on and on and will continue to do so.

If I am Lance Armstrong, I would wipe my ass with every single title, give them back, and then post it on YouTube.
