Some problems with the headline and the summary. Pretty bad considering it's coming from Time.

>> Headline: How Lance Armstrong Lost His Tour de France Titles

The headline makes it sound like a foregone conclusion. He hasn't lost them yet. While USADA says they can strip him of those titles, the cycling body and the tournament runner haven't agreed to it yet.

>> The cyclist's decision to forfeit his titles and not contest charges by the United States Anti-Doping Agency may be, in a sense, logical

Armstrong's comment to the effect that USADA isn't in the position to strip him of the Tour de France titles, doesn't sound like he decided to forfeit anything.

This case is fascinating. I don't know much about cycling, but I tend to side with Armstrong in this case. Will be interesting to see how it continues to play out.
