Twitter index: Lance Armstrong, Rupert Grint

Twitter users are sharing the news that seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is to be stripped of his titles and wishing Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint a 'Happy Birthday.'

Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France winner and founder of the Livestrong Foundation, was stripped of his Tour de France titles on Friday, August 24 by the USADA (U.S. Anti-Doping Authority). The move by the USADA came less than 24 hours after Armstrong announced he would stop fighting the various drug charges against him.

The decision by Armstrong to stop fighting the charges brought against him by the USADA is already being perceived by many as an admission of guilt by one of cycling's greatest sportsmen.

In a statement released on August 23, Armstrong stated 'There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough.' For me, that time is now.' The full statement from Lance Armstrong can be read at : http://goo.gl/eJlMi
