Target: Athletes
Region: United States of America
Result:
This petition is now closed.
Petition Background (Preamble):
After the federal government closed the case against Lance Armstrong, the USADA has decided to open it again.
Mr Armstrong states this on his website:
"I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one. That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence." And we... his fellow athletes support him.

Petition:
We feel that the US Antidoping Agency has unfairly brought up doping charges against Mr. Armstrong, which were dismissed by the Federal Govermnent 2 MONTHS ago. Subsequently he has been banned from triathlon competition.
Here in the USA we are innocent until proven guilty. Over 500 drug tests, of which Mr. Armstrong has passed 100%, WE FEEL THAT MEANS INNOCENCE.
We are signing to STOP the witch hunt. We are asking you to DROP the charges and allow Mr. Armstrong to live his life.
