Brownlee condemns his hero Armstrong

9:48 pm on 17 October 2012

The British triathlete and Olympic bronze medallist Jonny Brownlee says former cyclist Lance Armstrong shouldn't be allowed to compete in triathlons after his doping scandal.

The seven-time Tour de France winner has been accused of being a serial drugs cheat by the US Anti-Doping Agency but still takes part in triathlons.

Brownlee says Armstrong was a hero to him so the developments make him feel sad, but if he gets caught for using performance-enhancing drugs, he shouldn't take part in triathlons as those are the rules.
