The US Anti-Doping Agency brought formal doping charges against Lance Armstrong in an action that could cost him his seven Tour de France titles, according to a letter sent to Armstrong. While allegations of the use of performance enhancing drugs have dogged the 40-year-old for nearly two decades, this is the first time he will face charges and has led to the athlete being banned from competing in triathlons. Under USADA procedures, Armstrong has 10 days to respond to the letter, after which an independent review panel will take up the evidence and decide whether to press formal charges.
