Throughout the latter half of his career Armstrong received negative media attention due to allegations of taking performance enhancing drugs. These allegations were never substantiated and his reputation as a fair competitor remains strong. At one stage, Lance described himself as the most tested (for drugs) athlete in the world.

In 2012, on the heels of an FDA investigation, Armstrong was stripped of all his titles on the grounds of his refusal to testify before the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). As the International Cycling Union (UCI) announced on Oct 22, 2012 that it would not appeal the USADA's ruling to bar Lance Armstrong for life from Olympic sports for doping and for playing an instrumental role in the teamwide doping on his Tour de France-winning cycling squads, Armstrong now has formally lost the Tour titles he won from 1999-2005.

Lance said, "I refuse to participate in a process that is so one-sided and unfair."
