I looked at the Tour De France website, and the years that Armstrong was stripped of his title there was no winner - was there a dead heat for 2nd place every year, or can't the organisaers be bother to work out who came 2nd? Otherwise, its pretty pointless having the race.

Basically, in those years almost every cylist who came 2nd or 3rd was later implicated in drugtaking, so it was felt better to leave the record blank.
