MADRID -- Former champion Miguel Indurain says Lance Armstrong should keep his seven Tour de France titles until drug charges are proven by a single authority recognized by everyone in the sport.
Five-time Tour winner Indurain says "until an organization recognized by all decides to the contrary, the Tour victories are his."
Indurain, who won five straight Tour de Frances from 1991-95, says there are too many national and international bodies with differing interests in the fight against doping.
Indurain also calls the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's case against Armstrong "strange," claiming its pursuit of the American was "without scruples."
The Spanish cyclist, writing in Saturday's Marca newspaper, says he isn't surprised Armstrong chose not to contest charges from USADA.

I just did. Using someone's life-threatening illness in an attempt to discredit them is disgusting.

Using an illness doping commonly causes as evidence of doping is reasonable.

You are right, I should not have said, "causes," but "is associated with."
