Lance Armstrong honorary degree revoked by Tufts

Tufts University has revoked an honorary degree awarded in 2006 to disgraced former cycling champion Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong, who gave the commencement address at the school that year, was recently stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after the US Anti-Doping Agency released a report that concluded the cyclist was at the center of a doping operation. The International Cycling Union endorsed USADA’s findings.
