Lance Armstrong has returned his Olympic bronze cycling medal, the latest fallout from his confession to using performance-enhancing drugs.
Armstrong won the medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The International Olympic Committee in January vacated the medal Armstrong won in the road time trial. Armstrong tweeted on Thursday that he gave it back and a US Olympic Committee spokesman released a statement confirming its return.
Armstrong's tweet included a photo of the medal and its blue ribbon along with the message: "The 2000 Bronze is back in possession of (at)usolympics and will be in Switzerland asap".'
