Lance Armstrong to Swim Competitively

After coming clean about his career-long doping and being stripped of his seven Tour de France medals, Lance Armstrong is returning to the competitive sports world but this time as a swimmer.

Armstrong will be participating in this weekend’s South Central Zone Masters competitions in Austin. He will be competing in the 500, 1000 and 1650 freestyles.

Though Armstrong received a life-time ban from the United States Anti-Dopey Agency, he is technically still able to compete in the Masters swimming competitions. However, if a grievance is filed against him, he could be disqualified.

Armstrong did a lot of swimming in his younger years and when he retired from cycling, he participated in a number of different triathlons. Many people are angry that Armstrong is allowed to compete, but other Masters swimmers claim that they will only file a grievance if Armstrong breaks a record.
