Lance Armstrong refuses arbitration; faces sanctions by USADA‏

Declaring "enough is enough," Lance Armstrong says he will not fight charges brought by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, a surprising decision that sets the stage for the cyclist to be stripped of the Tour de France titles that turned him into an American hero. Armstrong, 40, said his decision did not mean he would accept USADA's sanctions. His lawyers threatened a lawsuit if USADA proceeded with punishing Armstrong, arguing that the agency must first resolve a myriad of disagreements with the International Cycling Union over whether a case against Armstrong should be pursued against based on the evidence./USATODAY
