This cartoon by Joe Heller from the Green Bay Press-Gazette relates to news that Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life after the International Cycling Union (UCI) ratified the United States Anti-Doping Agency's (USADA) sanctions against the American cyclist (and drug cheat).
The cartoonist plays on the word 'cycle', showing different types of cycle before the final image—a recycle bin containing Armstrong's trophies and cycling kit.
