Lance Armstrong stripped of tour de france titles

I found it ridiculous that they stripped him because he got tired of fighting. What happened to innocent till proven guilty. The whole story seems like a bunch of people pointing a finger at him and being like "The only reason you'd have blood transfusions is you were cheating". I know I'm playing devil's advocate, but it just seems a bit ridiculous to chase after someone until they just give up.

On top of that, even if all the other athletes are cheating, it still means he's better then all of them. If everyone is cheating, it is still a matter of who is better because everyone has the same unfair advantage.
