Amy. That's right. This is it. The UCI: cycling's governing body, that press conference going on in Switzerland right now officially stripping Armstrong,banning him for life saying,quote 'there is no place in cycling for Lance Armstrong'. This was the final hurdle and it's now really and officially epic downfall: Lance Armstrong turning into a virtual outcast in just a matter of days.

In what look at times more like a goodbye party than a celebration, Lance Armstrong made two appearances at Livestrong's 15th anniversary this weekend. But he didn't concede much. 

People ask me a lot: how you doing? And I tell them so: I have been better, but I have also been worse.

As his reputations, sponsorships and influence have fallen off a cliff, the silence surrounding his message over the years has begun to crack. A former competitor testified in his deposition that Armstrong bribed him to throw a race with some million-dollar price.

-What was the offer?

-My memory if it is right,I think was 50,000 dollars.

-Is it fair to say that you are offered money to not challenge Mr Armstrong to allow him to win?

-That's correct.

Armstrong, won that race. Former Sports Illustrated reporter Salina Robert tells us a story we heard repeatedly. Whenever a doping question was raised, it was met with threats and intimidation.

'I don't think that there is a really, any politician or celebrity or athlete who has really put together the machinery to, you know, suppress reporting about them like Armstrong has.'

Former Bicycling Magazine editor in chief Steven Medin writes in a blog: Armstrong exerted a Corleone-like influence in the cycling industry; he can make an advertiser disappear from our pages. Robert says Armstrong and his people try to turn her into a villain with her bosses and smear her reputation personally when they heard she was investigating doping allegations. And she says Livestrong was never far from the surface, something others had referred to as his cancer shield .

'You are confronted with the sort of perception that you are not pro-Lance, then certainly you are pro-cancer.'

A pile of multi-billion-dollar lawsuits are coming next. At the end, he'll also likely have to return millions more in prize money. The trouble just keeps on coming for Lance. Amy.

Yeah. So many new allegations. Neil Collinski. Thank you so much.
