The IOC formally opened an investigation Thursday that could result in Lance Armstrong losing his Olympic bronze medal for doping and Levi Leipheimer losing his medal too.

Lance Armstrong's former physician has denied accusations that he masterminded the doping habits of the cycling great and other riders.

The much-awaited report on Lance Armstrong's lifetime ban should be sent to cycling's world governing body (UCI) no later than October 15, a spokesman for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said on Wednesday.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) today backed away from the idea of an amnesty or truth-and-reconciliation commission for riders who took performance-enhancing drugs in the past.

If you're waiting for a neat conclusion to the doping scandal you're out of luck.

The World Anti-Doping Agency would consider an amnesty for riders who confess to drug offenses even though the proposal by cycling's ruling body would take the sports world into "uncharted territory."

The Secret Race is out and it has people talking.
