I know a lot of people were angry over Armstrong's admission of doping, especially from outside of the United States, the idea being that had he not doped, it might have given their countries' representatives a chance for the gold. That said, from a historical perspective, it makes not so much sense to list the winner of the Tour de France as "none" -- there is a precedent for vacated wins in which the name of the individual or team is listed and then (vacated) is placed alongside it. To emphasize that the win has been vacated, I've also seen a strikethrough across the individual or team. I'd like to propose this as a standard, as no such standard has seemingly been agreed upon.

The purpose of Wikipedia is to inform. Think about this from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the events described in the article. Listing Armstrong as the winner crossed out with a note that he was (after a large lapse of time) disqualified, allows people to quickly understand what happened. Obliterating references to historical events results in confusion. Armstrong stood on the podium in the yellow jersey. He was regarded as the winner for many years. Then he was disqualified. You should be able to quickly understand this from the infobox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.113.122.120 ( talk) 14:29, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
