![Former good article](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f6/Symbol_unsupport_vote.svg/50px-Symbol_unsupport_vote.svg.png) | Lance Armstrong was one of the good articles, but it has been removed from the list.

Hamilton describes an investigation of Armstrong by Jeff Novitzky and the Food and Drug Administration and his bewilderment when the case was dropped.
Why was he allowed to keep his illicit earnings?※
I believe the article would be improved if it included an explanation of how it came to be that Armstrong has been allowed to keep his illicitly gained earnings, leaving him obscenely wealthy, thanks to his cheating.
