    FTA:
    "The last time I checked, I won the Tour seven straight years and was never once found to be guilty of doping despite seven years of intense scrutiny," Armstrong said in a statement.

    "We won clean and fair. Also, according to industry standards, TV ratings, worldwide media impressions, spectators along the route, and global sponsorships were at an all-time high. Where's the embarrassment in that?"

    Armstrong was reacting to a comment from Jean-Etienne Amaury, the new president of the Tour de France's parent company Amaury Sports Organization, who told the French sports daily L'Equipe of Armstrong: "We cannot say that he has not embarrassed the Tour de France."

    Cancer survivor Armstrong also accused critics of his cycling comeback of trying to attract attention for themselves

    What's up with Jean-Etienne Amaury? That was very mean spirited of him.
