Obviously, these agencies are trying to make a statement about doping. However, why should we really care? Truth is, it takes extraordinary ability to complete the Tour de France, much less win the event. And Armstrong clearly won those events - even with doping.
I read a good article in Bicycling Magazine the other month about this:

With Armstrong being stripped of his titles, people like Jan Ullrich (an admitted and convicted doper) becomes a four-time champion.
If we can live and be happy with genetically modified food, then what's the problem with doping in sports???
