(Newser) – Now it's really official—Lance Armstrong is no longer a Tour de France champion. The proof: He removed his titles from his Twitter profile, which has 3.8 million followers, CBS News reports. His profile had proclaimed that he was a "father of 5 amazing kids, 7-time Tour de France winner, full time cancer fighter, part time triathlete." Now, it says, "Raising my five kids. Fighting Cancer. Swim, bike, run and golf whenever I can."
