Armstrong keeps Olympic medal, for now

The International Olympic Committee has postponed a decision on whether to strip Lance Armstrong of the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics for legal reasons, president Jacques Rogge has announced.

At the IOC’s executive board meeting in Lausanne this week, Rogge said the IOC were powerless to act as the International Cycling Federation are yet to formally notify Armstrong of their decision to annul all his results since August 1998.
