Disgraced US cyclist Lance Armstrong, who confessed last month to doping after being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles last year, tops the new Forbes magazine list of most disliked US athletes
The list, released yesterday, saw Armstrong edge collegiate American football player Manti Te’o on a higher name recognition tie-breaker after each had only 15 % appeal in a Nielsen/E-Poll survey. Armstrong admitted last month he took performance-enhancing drugs during his 1999-2005 victory run in the Tour, tainted his cancer-comeback story and Livestrong Foundation’s efforts.
